Megagame projects

Switching the Current

Through so-called Megagames, the project "Switching the current" aims to increase knowledge about how current design and transformation of the energy system affects the surrounding society, environment and climate.

The Climate Change Megagame

The Climate Change Megagame is a large-scale game with elements of board gaming, role playing and conflict gaming, and up to a hundred players can participate.
