TryLife produces an interactive soap-opera style online drama where users’ choices immediately affect the storyline. The site guides a character through filmed scenarios that place young people in risk situations around drug use, violence and sex. It is designed for users aged 16–24 and was developed and filmed in the North East by a group of social welfare and media professionals, most of them under 25. The service is led by managing director Paul Irwin. TryLife plans to use its recent funding to research content with young people and professionals, design and build the website and game engine, cover production costs for the filmed drama and develop training resources. The company recently secured new capital to support those development plans.
