Halyon - 'A second chance on a distant planet'

This game for ages 13 upwards. It is being designed in collaboration with a Design Committee of Volunteer Engineers. It creates a scenario in which six players act as different engineering sectors attempting to colonise a distant green and peaceful planet. The players must meet UN Sustainability Goals or leave the planet. The game creates a decolonised and sustainable approach to the future and the role that engineers play in building either 'bright green' or 'dark green' futures.  In schools student teams are supported by trained business volunteers and the session ends with each team entering the' teleportation chamber' to report their success or failures to to see if they can stay on the planet See more here
