Gaming for the greater good - Superstruct

Tyren -

I heard about this multiplayer forcasting game on CBC - where you project what your real self will be doing in 2019 and how you will deal with various issues - like climate change, food shortage, a pandemic, power struggles and major security breaches. "Your mission is to come up to real solutions to those problems by doing things like blogging, making videos and uploading photos online. You play the role of yourself, but 11 years in the future." (CBC website)

One of the cool things is that they are going to use this information to project what people really will do when faced with these challenges and in order to get people to share ideas about how to actually deal with these issues.

I've created a profile and thought you might enjoy this too. You can earn " badges" by writing stories about yourself in the future, making vidoes.. it looks super cool. Check it our here:
