The method used in this study made the children active participants, and our results suggest that this method can be used by health care researchers to cocreate serious games with children. It is necessary to inform the children involved that the process takes time, and that the process can be altered to allow as much participation as possible without placing a burden on them. The children's illness affected their possibility to take part; thus, it is crucial to accommodate the children's needs when conducting similar studies. The parents' participation facilitated the meetings for their children, even though their involvement in the game design was negligible.
