The Khalifa Empowerment Program for Students (Aqdar) launched the electronic awareness games initiative in collaboration with over 40 private and public entities. Institutions held seminars, forums, and meetings to discuss and track the development of the project. Parents, school faculty, and police officers were offered training courses, lectures, and workshops to learn about the initiative and how to support the students.

The Khalifa Empowerment Program outlined a video game development process to ensure that the games were both entertaining and educational for different student age groups. First, students were surveyed to determine which video games they found more appealing. Then, video game prototypes were tested. After determining the targeted ages, educational content, and desired learning outcomes, the game design was refined in conjunction with psychologists and scenario writers. Psychologists and scenario writers made sure the educational content was seamlessly introduced into the gameplay. Finally, games were tested and evaluated with students. The Program had 40 focus groups with a total of 1,200 students. The program was implemented in a smaller scale in one school and gradually expanded to include all schools and grades on a citywide scale.

Instead of developing the games from scratch, the Khalifa Empowerment Program cut costs by using a game engine, a software that uses templates to allow developers to build games more quickly and efficiently. This way, the developers could focus on game play and include more awareness and educational content. $200,000 were allocated for the development of video games and human resources.
