    Flood is the most common natural disaster in Sri Lanka that causes a huge destruction annually [1]. Lack of awareness on flood among the public is one of the main reasons behind the huge destruction of lives and property.We have proposed a platform for flood awareness, named "Flood Run" which is an interactive 3D mobile game, with following modules: puzzle games, action games and memorizing games, adventure games and quizzes. These four modules consist of activities to develop the essential skills to improve flood awareness. This research used game-based learning and interactive game designing techniques. This research paper presents the performance evaluation of the four types of modules. The results show that, with the help of the provided solution, the expected skills of the people are improved, and through that flood awareness among public is improved.
