Central line-associated bloodstream infection prevention remains challenging in clinical settings. This experience describes how barriers identified through a needs assessment in Brazilian hospitals were translated into a tailored serious game to support catheter care practices. Using the Octalysis Framework, real-world challenges were converted into interactive missions simulating catheter care. This approach illustrates how context-specific barriers can be operationalized into an educational tool to support health care workers' adherence to central line-associated bloodstream infection prevention measures.
