Summary:Youths in Indonesia have different backgrounds, including religion, tradition and social environment, but there are similarities in games. This study aims to analyse the effectiveness of Our Moderate Game (OMG) app use and changes in mindset among youths regarding understanding religious tolerance. This study used mixed methods. The data were collected using questionnaires, observations and interviews. The OMG app effectively improved youth religious tolerance with an average religious tolerance score in the control class of 51.46. In the experimental category, the average religious tolerance score was 74.56. Based on gender, the level of religious tolerance in male youths had a higher score (75.08) than female youths (74.04). Based on religion, meanwhile, Muslim youths had a higher level of religious tolerance than other religious youths, with 81.10.Contribution The OMG app can help young people, communities and governments overcome the rise of social, religious and even intolerant, extreme societies.
