严肃游戏是数字游戏，除了娱乐之外还有其他目标。最近，许多研究探索了严肃游戏的不同质量标准，包括有效性和吸引力。不幸的是，严肃游戏的双重使命，即同时实现预期效果（严肃部分）和娱乐（游戏部分），在这些研究中没有得到充分考虑。本文旨在确定严肃游戏的基本质量标准。我们研究的基本目标是确定严肃游戏的重要因素，并将现有的原则和要求从游戏相关文献中调整到有效和有吸引力的严肃游戏中。除了相关文献的回顾，我们还包括研讨会的结果。此外，我们还分析和总结了22个最先进的教育和健康的严肃游戏。被选中的最佳实践严肃游戏要么通过科学研究证明其有效性，要么通过赢得游戏奖项。对于这些游戏的分析，我们参考“DIN SPEC 91380严肃游戏元数据格式”。“一个总结性的文本说明了严肃和游戏部分的质量标准，特别是它们之间的平衡。我们通过文献分析并与领域专家密切合作，为高质量的严肃游戏提供指导。
Serious games are digital games that have an additional goal beyond entertainment. Recently, many studies have explored different quality criteria for serious games, including effectiveness and attractiveness. Unfortunately, the double mission of serious games, that is, simultaneous achievement of intended effects (serious part) and entertainment (game part), is not adequately considered in these studies. This paper aims to identify essential quality criteria for serious games. The fundamental goal of our research is to identify important factors of serious games and to adapt the existing principles and requirements from game-related literature to effective and attractive serious games. In addition to the review of the relevant literature, we also include workshop results. Furthermore, we analyzed and summarized 22 state-of-the-art serious games for education and health. The selected best-practice serious games either prove their effectiveness through scientific studies or by winning game awards. For the analysis of these games, we refer to "DIN SPEC 91380 Serious Games Metadata Format." A summarized text states quality criteria for both the serious and the game part, and especially the balance between them. We provide guidelines for high-quality serious games drawn from literature analysis and in close cooperation with domain experts.
