Board game design
This board game is inspired by sustainability and designed to promote critical thinking in a playful way. The result is an engaging experience where creativity meets purpose.
Concept
Curiosity is a board game set in a speculative future scenario where poor waste management has pushed the planet to its limits. The project combines entertainment and education, aiming to raise awareness about the impact of human lifestyles and the urgent need for responsible resource management. Through humor and narrative play, the game invites players to reflect on the irreversible damage caused to the environment and their role in shaping a more sustainable future. The fictional scenario portrays nature as an active adversary, reacting to human actions and challenging players as they attempt to build paths toward hidden treasures that may represent either salvation or downfall for society.
Creative approach
The project is based on the Humans Inc. scenario, one of the 2025 future scenarios proposed by ARUP, where human social conditions are prioritized at the expense of planetary health. The creative direction blends fictional world-building with educational intent, transforming environmental issues into an engaging and accessible gameplay experience.
