All participants reported that their lack of familiarity with serious gaming was a barrier to its adoption. The prevalence of familiarity barriers is significant, but expected, considering the preceding findings on the low level of serious gaming awareness. Practicality barriers are the second most common reason for not adopting serious gaming, as indicated by three participants (38%). The barriers that participants described least were financial barriers (13%) and the lack of IT facilities and support (13%).

Lack of familiarity is more than telling as a barrier to serious gaming adoption. To analyse the data further, barriers because of familiarity is distinguishable under five related themes. The themes are game perceptions, the lack of promotion of serious gaming, the need for proven cases, unfamiliarity with the technology, and unaware of the concept of serious gaming. Refer to Table 4 distribution of these themes across the various participants.Table 4.Breakdown of familiarity barriers
