The theme for 2021 was Climate Crisis
The climate crisis has become more urgent than ever. In the past few years, we have witnessed record-breaking temperatures, intense floods, storms, drought, and wildfires as they devastate communities around the world. As global citizens, the first step in tackling climate crisis is deepening our understanding of the issue.
Hundreds of participants created games that help others understand the impact of behaviors on our planet and how we must take bold action immediately. Games focused on the way humans impact the melting of the ice caps or ideas for renewable energy, share your knowledge of the climate crisis and encourage those playing to take action in their own lives!
