Faced with difficulties in raising blood bags by blood centers various means are used to sensitize donors and keep stocked blood banks. This work presents the "partial simulation" of this reality through an electronic educational game that aims to inform and educate about the importance of donation. It is a mechanism to clarify questions and demystifying common beliefs disseminated by the lack of knowledge that hinder the blood raising. With the aim of informing the player, not just entertaining him, "In search of lost donor" is the presentation of a common theme in creative format, motivating and social impact. The simulation gives the player the experience on difficulties of finding donors and awakens the same knowledge about basic issues of the donation process. From two experiments with potential donors we validated the proposal of the game, as a way to educate players about the importance of donation.
