Summary
"FutureGuessr, a free online game launched in 2025, uses climate-based future imagery to engage players in guessing locations and learning about projected climate impacts by 2100. Inspired by GeoGuessr, it visualizes how familiar landscapes may change and contributes to a broader movement using games for climate communication. These games—ranging from video games to board games and workshops—help people understand climate science, discuss solutions, and critique issues like corporate power and greenwashing. While AI-generated images carry environmental costs, games like FutureGuessr show how interactive, visual tools can spark meaningful conversations and motivate climate action."
