Climate Detectives: Open for Business
Requirements
Description
“Climate Detectives: Open for Business” is a project-based collaborative learning experience, where children build science and math skills through sustainable city development.
In this game, two or more players work to create sustainable, environmentally-friendly economies, which are resilient to natural disasters. Players must make strategic decisions on how to design towns that can withstand hurricanes, ecosystem collapses, disease outbreaks, droughts, oil spills, and more. Open for Business was designed for use in middle and high school classrooms but is equally suitable for a game night with friends!
Climate Detectives: Open for Business goes past telling children to recycle, eat less meat, and take the bus to school. This game equips children with positive, productive strategies about surviving against climate change – something that will support them in our ever-changing, increasingly hot world.

Notes
- This game contains a premium upgrade called UV Coating that makes the printed components more durable.
- This game contains laser cut components. Laser cut items will have a slight amount of soot around the edges, which can easily be wiped off; and will have a campfire smell for about a week after you open them.
