At Bow Valley College in Calgary, that question sparked action. This summer, the College introduced <em>The Adaptation Game<\/em> (TAG), a serious, story-driven tabletop game, to campus, inviting players to simulate how their community might adapt over the next decade to climate-related shocks such as floods, wildfires, or heatwaves.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>TAG is as much about building connections as it is about planning: \u201cIt\u2019s more of a platform for a community conversation,\u201d not just entertainment, said one participant. The game transforms abstract global risks into local, narrative-driven scenarios, making climate change more human, tangible, and actionable. As one player summarized: \u201cWoah, this is like real life stuff but we can do it from a safe space.\u201d&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>On June 10, as part of a full-day \u201cClimate Futures Game Jam,\u201d over 75 students, faculty, and community members experienced TAG alongside creative game prototyping. In the morning, participants played TAG itself, an immersive, facilitated tabletop roleplaying session that brings systems thinking and roleplay to life.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-left\">Geoff Evamy-Hill, Applied Research Associate in serious games, reflected on what makes TAG compelling:<br><br>\u201cThe most important aspect of TAG is in its ability to build a real sense of agency and community amongst participants&#8230; Roleplay elements help people to see the consequences of their adaptations in changing circumstances.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>He added, \u201cA game does not need to be perfectly realistic, but believable and immersive&#8230; making concepts stick, decisions matter, and outcomes feel powerful.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>After a compelling moment during gameplay, Amy Spark, Climate Specialist, recounted:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cA participant (a hiker) realized their fitness meant they could check on vulnerable neighbours during heatwaves by going door to door. They shared this with their hiking community, who responded positively. It reinforced that through games and conversations, people can discover unique ways to play their role in a crisis.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-columns is-layout-flex wp-container-core-columns-is-layout-28f84493 wp-block-columns-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"768\" src=\"https:\/\/secondnature.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/20250610_Sustainability_TagGame_HKA6218_Social-1-1024x768.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-39248\" srcset=\"https:\/\/secondnature.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/20250610_Sustainability_TagGame_HKA6218_Social-1-1024x768.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/secondnature.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/20250610_Sustainability_TagGame_HKA6218_Social-1-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/secondnature.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/20250610_Sustainability_TagGame_HKA6218_Social-1-768x576.jpg 768w, https:\/\/secondnature.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/20250610_Sustainability_TagGame_HKA6218_Social-1-1536x1152.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/secondnature.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/20250610_Sustainability_TagGame_HKA6218_Social-1.jpg 2048w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"768\" src=\"https:\/\/secondnature.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/20250610_Sustainability_TagGame_HKA6212_Social-1024x768.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-39249\" srcset=\"https:\/\/secondnature.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/20250610_Sustainability_TagGame_HKA6212_Social-1024x768.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/secondnature.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/20250610_Sustainability_TagGame_HKA6212_Social-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/secondnature.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/20250610_Sustainability_TagGame_HKA6212_Social-768x576.jpg 768w, https:\/\/secondnature.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/20250610_Sustainability_TagGame_HKA6212_Social-1536x1152.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/secondnature.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/20250610_Sustainability_TagGame_HKA6212_Social.jpg 2048w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>The afternoon Game Jam exploded with innovation. Six interdisciplinary teams developed game prototypes that explored themes such as wildfire response and food insecurity, ranging from dice-based tabletop games to collaborative digital platforms. Kern Babb, an Applied Research intern with a background in emergency management, framed his facilitation around the disaster management cycle, which includes preparation, mitigation, response, and recovery. He saw participants build a sense of agency and belonging: the experience \u201cexposed participants to an environment where they became decision-makers,\u201d he explained.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Nic Cross, another intern whose background is in mental health and peer support, added that TAG provides emotional grounding amid climate uncertainty:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cGames like TAG can give people a safe space to explore big&#8230; issues like climate change. That safety allows them to process emotions while staying engaged. You see people leaning in, asking questions, even laughing while working through serious scenarios.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>These insights reflect TAG\u2019s core design values, created by its Australian founders at <a href=\"https:\/\/amble.studio\/\">Amble Studios<\/a>, which emphasize inclusivity, storytelling, community building, and reducing climate anxiety.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>As climate threats intensify, Bow Valley College\u2019s TAG initiative demonstrates an inventive path forward. Through play, people not only learn, they connect, build confidence, and take action. At Bow Valley College, climate resilience isn\u2019t just taught. It\u2019s played, prototyped, and put into action.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"576\" src=\"https:\/\/secondnature.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/WebinarHeader-Graphic-56-1024x576.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-39250\" srcset=\"https:\/\/secondnature.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/WebinarHeader-Graphic-56-1024x576.png 1024w, https:\/\/secondnature.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/WebinarHeader-Graphic-56-300x169.png 300w, https:\/\/secondnature.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/WebinarHeader-Graphic-56-768x432.png 768w, https:\/\/secondnature.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/WebinarHeader-Graphic-56.png 1280w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>What if the future of your city were a board game, and the stakes were real?
