Trash City

Project Description

Through laughter and competitive fun, Trash City incites board game enthusiasts to become more environmentally conscious by learning how to differentiate between different types of trash and how each gets recycled uniquely.

Problem

How can we create a fun and engaging yet environmentally conscious board game that can teach players how to effectively recycle?

Insights

Players had the most fun when they could be competitive against one another, and became invested into the game when they felt a sense of attachment and ownership to a mechanic in the game.

Solutions

We created a fast-paced, competitive board game where players are the mayor of a trash filled city, tasked with creating enough resources and trash processing centers to rid their city of trash for good - which may result in sabotaging other mayors in the process.
