Fire safety training is crucial for everyone. Therefore, implementing interactive training is necessary to support this knowledge among people who are not experts in fire safety, in order to use a fire extinguisher correctly. Commonly the training is held in various ways through formal training, modules and video with limited interaction and motivation. Therefore, this study aims to build a VR Facing Fire game, to educate people on how to extinguish fire in fire hazard circumstances. Through this VR environment, the player would be able to immerse themselves in situation that gives simulated experience which is similar to the real world. Player would act as a victim who need to put out fire or escape from building by using VR headset. The game development involves several phases in GDLC (Game Development Life Cycle) such as pre-production, production and post-production. The results showed that VR Facing Fire games provide good visual aesthetic and motivation among players. However, the realism factor needs to be enhanced to fulfil the VR elements. © 2024 Author(s).
