We are developing a new game about building community resilience.
Communities across Scotland are facing growing risks from flooding, extreme weather, and other climate-related challenges. But every community is different — with its own strengths, vulnerabilities, and access to services. To plan effectively for the future, we need to include local voices and lived experience.
Funded by the National Centre for Resilience, we're creating a free, customisable serious game that allows communities to simulate future climate hazards and co-produce strategies to respond. It brings together local people, public services, and third sector groups in a shared space for planning, collaboration and action.
How It Works:
Game co-designed with communities in the Scottish Borders and Clackmannanshire to reflect their particular needs
Playtested in local settings with feedback loops
Developed into a downloadable, print-and-play resource with video guides
Freely available to anyone interested in community resilience
Who It’s For:
Community groups
Local authorities and services
Third sector organisations
Educators and resilience professionals
