The Elephant in the Room is a climate debate game that invites players to step into different roles and perspectives to explore the most pressing and polarising questions of our time. Through short, structured debates, players practice argumentation, active listening, and critical reflection—all while engaging with the complexity of climate change in a playful, curious way.

Unlike traditional debate formats focused on winning, this game encourages players to let go of being right and instead focus on understanding. Inspired by the concept of philia sophia—the love of wisdom—the game rewards nuance, empathy, and creativity. Win conditions are revealed only after each round, shifting the goal from persuasion to thoughtful engagement.

The game is designed for teens, youth groups, classrooms, and workshops, with flexible options for 2–6 players or up to 30 participants in group mode. No prior debate experience is needed—just a willingness to explore new ideas, challenge assumptions, and have fun while doing it.

You are the CEO of a naughty, naughty company. Can you convince the public that your totally real green agenda outweighs any pesky pollution you might be doing on the side?

There can only be one industry leader. Get ahead of the competition by accusing others of greenwashing! Just make sure they’re not using the same tactics as you…

GREENWASH! is a competitive card game with elements of social deduction. Players assume the roles of CEOs and take turns building their companies by using both profitable industry cards and public image enhancing greenwash cards, all the while accusing each other of greenwashing in an effort to come out on top.

Nowadays, climate awareness is a topic more relevant than ever, especially in a societal environment where we are misled by our politicians, who mask their selfish ambitions. Can you hear the voice of true values amidst the noise?

The live-action role-playing game It’s Election Day! takes place during the electoral campaign of a fictional country created by the players themselves. The characters represent members of different groups—politicians, journalists, and other citizens—each advocating their own views to shape public discourse. Join and experience the new dimensions of a democratic scene!

During this game, you will get familiar with the factors that can form an individual’s opinion, facing the task of investigating the politicians by all means you have in your hands. Using the influence of a whole community will shape their future here. This future depends on a single decision: will you find the path to a brighter perspective, or will you listen to deceitful voices instead?

What is a LARP? A Live Action Role Playing (LARP) is an interactive game in which players assume the roles of characters, interact with each other and their environment, and collaborate to tell a story. Unlike traditional board games, LARPs require players to physically embody their characters and act out scenes in real time.
