Rumble's Quest Child Wellbeing Measurement & Reporting Platform

Overview

Rumble's Quest is a child wellbeing measurement and reporting platform owned by Griffith University. It's used nationally by government departments, agencies, Queensland Department of Education schools and teachers. We've been the exclusive development partner for Rumble's Quest since 2017, working through Invision Media, and we build and maintain all of its web tools.

Children aged 6 to 12 play a game that measures their wellbeing, and the results are reported back to their school. Because the platform collects data from children, all data is hosted, stored and transferred on Australian AWS infrastructure. The platform has processed more than 850,000 data points from 50,000 game submissions, for over 17,000 students nationally.

About Rumble's Quest

Rumble's Quest is a scientifically validated way of assessing several areas of child wellbeing. It uses age-appropriate methods designed to help 6 to 12 year olds report directly on how they experience the world. Organisations that work with children use it to:

• understand children's strengths
• plan support where children need it most
• review the results of that support afterwards

Children report on their wellbeing across four areas:

• Attachment to school
• Emotional and behavioural self-regulation
• Social confidence with peers
• Supportive environments and relationships with caring adults

The game also includes tasks that test executive skills such as working memory, cognitive flexibility, and impulse and attention control.

This video explains how Rumble's Quest works:

Challenges

1. Children's Data: The platform collects wellbeing data from children aged 6 to 12, so security and privacy are critical.

2. Research Formulas: Raw game data has to be processed using formulas provided by the lead researchers at Griffith University.

3. National Use: Schools, agencies and government departments across Australia use the platform, each with their own users and licences.

Solution

Rumble's Quest is made up of a game, which children play on desktops, laptops or iPads, and a set of web tools that we lead and develop:

1. Data Processing: A backend tool that processes raw game data using the researchers' formulas.

2. User & Licence Management: An admin tool for managing users and licences.

3. Measurement & Reporting: Reports that let educators see each student's results and drill into where they sit across the four areas.

4. Australian AWS Hosting: We manage the AWS hosting, with all data hosted, stored and transferred in Australia.

5. Security Reviews: We work with Griffith University on static code reviews and regular penetration testing to keep student information secure.

Key Features Implemented:

• Game data processing using Griffith University's research formulas
• User and licence management
• Student wellbeing reports across four areas
• Drill-down reporting for educators
• Australian AWS hosting for all student data
• Regular penetration testing and code reviews

Results

1. 850,000+ Data Points Processed: More than 850,000 data points from 50,000 game submissions, supporting over 17,000 students.

2. Used Nationally: Government departments, agencies, Queensland Department of Education schools and teachers use the platform across Australia.

3. Ongoing Since 2017: We've maintained and developed the platform continuously since 2017.
