Event details

TIME TO LAND is a large-scale facilitated experience for up to 30 players who will either turn human civilization back on a sustainable track or dive even deeper towards social and environmental collapse.

Complex economical phenomena are portrayed by simple decision steps in front of the players, resource management is mixed with role-playing elements and teamwork challenges. Creativity and out of the box thinking are the key to success.

Time pressure and narrative dilemmas may raise up the emotions during around 90 minutes of the gameplay, which is later resolved by in-depth reflection, combining personal experience of the players and revealed strategic patterns with the principles of Doughnut Economics.

All welcome!

Environmental Sustainability at York and Play for the Planet is pleased to host Nausika, a non-profit, non-govermental organization, registered as foundation in Poland. Nausika was established to design, promote and implement educational games for personal development and social transformation.

Hot drinks will be available throughout.
