AWS suggests the role-playing game is ideal for early-career to new-to-cloud adult learners. Progressing in the game requires players to complete quests while building solutions on AWS to solve the problems of the city.
The gameplay includes videos, quizzes, and hands-on exercises based on real-world business scenarios. Playing along with the game, learners can understand core AWS services and categories and build basic cloud solutions.
