Cool School, an educational game based on peaceful conflict resolution has received ‘rave reviews’ from testers. Development of the game started then Congress allocated funding to the Federal Mediation and Conciliation Service, to create the video game.

The idea was to share the game throughout schools in the US, until recently when the funding was cut. Ars technica says that the game was developed in response to the recent release of GTA4, a game that encourages violence, if anything.


Cool School is now available as a free download for both Mac OS X and Windows XP.
