Workshop
The 2030 SDGs Game
Experience a possible world of 2030 and beyond.
The 2030 SDGs Game is an interactive simulation where participants step into a shared world and experience how their decisions shape the economy, society, and the environment. As they pursue different goals, use limited resources, negotiate, and collaborate, every choice influences what happens next.
The world that emerges is not decided in advance. It is created by the people in the room.
What is it?
A simulation of an interconnected world.
Inspired by the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals, the 2030 SDGs Game is a multiplayer, in-person experiential learning simulation designed to explore the complexity of creating a sustainable world.
Rather than teaching the SDGs as separate goals or providing ready-made answers, the Game places participants within a dynamic system where economic, social and environmental dimensions are interconnected.
Participants learn through experience, play, reflection and realisation.
Real-world challenges do not exist in isolation.
Economic progress, social well-being and environmental sustainability are deeply connected. An action in one area can create opportunities, trade-offs or unintended consequences elsewhere.
The Game makes these relationships visible. As the experience unfolds, participants begin to recognise patterns, encounter different perspectives and understand why meaningful change requires looking beyond individual actions to the wider system.
Participants do not simply hear that the world is interconnected. They experience it for themselves.

How does it work?
Different goals. Shared world. Every action has an impact.
The 2030 SDGs Game is a facilitated simulation where participants use money and time to pursue their individual goals. Through the projects they choose and the choices they make together, the condition of the shared world changes.
Play the Game. Reflect on the experience. Connect to the real world.
02
Use time and money to take action
You have limited money and time. Use them to implement projects that generate returns—money, time, projects or principles.
03
Watch the world change
Every project can affect the shared World Condition Meter—across economy (blue), environment (green) and society (yellow). Your choices influence everyone.
04
Reflect and connect
Facilitated reflection helps you explore what happened, why it happened and what it means in the real world.
The Game creates the experience. Reflection turns that experience into learning.
5–50 participants
Expandable through parallel game worlds
