RACE FOR THE ARCTIC:
a docu-game about climate change
The climate crisis is the challenge of a generation, but its scale & complexity is hard to comprehend. The numbers are too small (2 degrees), too big (20 tons) or too abstract (400 parts per million).
CONCEPT:
A docu-game that enables people to engage with climate research through play. Players follow the story of a fictional freight company as they uncover real perspectives on the future of the Arctic.
APPROACH:
The game narrative & environment is modelled on data from the scientific literature, enriched with stories, events and characters co-created with a climate scientist, a shipping CEO, a marine biologist, a political scientist and indigenous communty-leaders.
IMPACT:
‘Race for the Arctic’ is currently in development... watch this space!
