Municipalities and NGOs to use the game in real co-design and consultation workshops and provide feedback on engagement outcomes. Schools/universities to adopt it in curricula and evaluate learning impact. Partners to localise/customise scenarios (city context, language, NBS options) and integrate it into participatory planning workflows. Public/private funding or sponsors to scale dissemination, maintain the tool, and develop new modules and content packs.

TRL 6: working digital prototype available for non-commercial use. Next steps: expand content packs and scenarios, improve usability and facilitation materials, support localisation and municipal customisation, and build a sustainable maintenance/release cycle. We seek public/private funding and institutional partners (schools, NGOs, municipalities) for pilots, evaluation and scaling.

Yes. As a digital product, it can scale to many users with low marginal cost via downloads/online access. New cities and institutions can be onboarded through modular scenario packs, localisation and facilitation toolkits. A freemium model supports broad reach, while customisation and institutional licensing provide resources to maintain quality and expand content.

Yes. The game creates sustainable value by improving civic participation and education around NBS, helping communities understand trade-offs and co-benefits that support healthier, more resilient cities. Value is delivered through an open-access non-commercial version that enables wide adoption, complemented by structured facilitation materials and training for high-quality use in workshops and classrooms. Economic value is captured through a mixed model: institutional licensing (schools, universities, NGOs), municipal customisation (local scenarios, language, NBS options) and bundled engagement/training workshops. This balances broad societal benefit with a funding stream for maintenance, updates and new modules, supporting long-term impact and continuous improvement.
