Information Plus, 3 Hill of Heddle, Finstown, Orkney, KW17 2LH; 01856 761334;Fax 01856 761149; informationplus@compuserve.com

Each colour pertains to a different area of social behaviour such as "thinking skills", "forward planning", "emotions" or "relationship" and presents players with a behavioural dilemma relating to that social skill.

Professionals using the game can also customise the content to only include dilemmas relating to certain contexts of behaviour such as "choosing", "preparing" or "applying" etc. Each dilemma has three choices and the outcome of each choice has an effect on four "Life Indexes" - "health", "wealth", "relationships" and "self-esteem". When any life index sinks to zero that player loses a turn to recover and the winner is the first player to get all 4 indexes to teh targets set in the opening phase of the game. Just like life of course, players also have to cope random unforeseen events which also have an effect on their life indexes.

LifeBall contains 8 social skills area, 8 behavioural topic areas per skill (64 dilemmas in all) and 20 random events. All text content is spoken and included on CD in Adobe Acrobat format.

LifeBall comes in 4 versions:
