Step into the world of BIOTRAILS playing a serious game!
With the BIOTRAILS Serious Game, the inherent capacity of games to engage players in stimulating and fun experiences is leveraged to casually raise awareness on the biodiversity impacts of production and consumption. At the same time, the Serious Game aims to encourage effective behavioural change towards involvement in participatory processes to accelerate transformative change. The game unfolds across various scenarios that highlight the impact of consumption choices on biodiversity. Through these experiences, the players gain a deeper understanding of the complex connections between everyday actions and biodiversity-associated impacts.
Through the game players face engaging challenges and quizzes that help uncover the real-world impacts of their choices on biodiversity. By participating in the game, players become part of a global citizen championship for sustainable behaviour by competing with fellow citizens worldwide to showcase their commitment to sustainability.
Beyond simply playing, BIOTRAILS players contribute to the broader scientific mission of Citizen Science.
By comparing initial and post-game consumption preferences, patterns can be analysed in how players’ awareness and attitudes evolve. This data contributes to citizen science by helping to understand the effectiveness of educational tools in changing behaviour, providing insights into consumer attitudes, and supporting broader research into social influences on consumption. Through this process, the Serious Game turns players into active participants in citizen science, using their personal evolution to contribute data that could shape future sustainability strategies.
Play the Serious Game, climb the leaderboard with your sustainable choices, and demonstrate your dedication to positive environmental change alongside a worldwide community!
