About us
The Game of Adaptation
The Game of Adaptation looks for responses and adaptations to climate change events through site specific knowledge, wrapped in a role play. This interdisciplinary project marries ecology with social innovation, psychology with role play and science with co-creation!
Earthrise
We co-designed this game together with an international team of game designers. We invite you to dive into a degrading world where stakes of survival are high. Will you exploit earth for your personal gain, will you sacrifice yourself for the sake of others, or will keep this fragile balance of earth, community and yourself in balance? Play and adapt!
Scopa of Adaptation
We nudged one of the most popular Italian card games into an educational journey on climate adaptation. Your friends are tired of you talking about climate change? Sneak the conversation in with a – slightly different – round of Scopa!

Harvests
Take a look at our "harvests"
Where we explored local knowledge on climate adaptation in several parts of the world. We involved different stakeholders that met together online to share their experience.
