Gameplay

Using iPads, players interact with a globe representation surrounded by landmarks or “hot spots.” Zooming into these spots, they confront local climate change issues, requiring teamwork and resource leverage for solutions. As gameplay evolves, each faction’s actions influence the others, necessitating strategic coordination, alliances, and consensus-building. Teams must navigate alliances, reach consensus, and possibly even strong-arm opponents to achieve their objectives.

Each faction brings its own agenda:

Business advocates

Science seeks green
technology solutions

Nature demands
immediate action

Faction actions directly impact others, fostering strategic coordination and negotiation.

The game concludes with an award ceremony, celebrating collective achievements and highlighting the environmental repercussions of players’ decisions. Through vivid visual representations, players gain deep insights into the environmental implications of their actions, providing invaluable lessons for addressing real-world climate challenges.
