description Zamzee Overview
Zamzee was a HopeLab activity meter and online game introduced in 2011 to encourage physical activity among children and adolescents.

The system was designed for young users, including middle-school-aged children, and was studied as a game-based intervention for increasing moderate-to-vigorous physical activity.
