Game-based participatory approaches such as the SCORE GeoDesign & EBACraft games offer a powerful way to boost community engagement in spatial decision-making. Unlike conventional GIS platforms that often require technical expertise, these games simplify complex geospatial data & empower non-specialists to actively participate in planning. In the GeoDesign game, participants engage in a multi-round, map-based planning exercise using an interactive online platform. Starting with a defined area, players propose Ecosystem-Based Adaptation (EBA) strategies by placing solutions on the map, then discuss each other’s proposals, refining them through collaboration. EBACraft allows players to design & build local climate adaptation solutions using real geospatial data. Guided by facilitators, players creatively construct their vision for a resilient environment using Minecraft’s immersive tools. This experience encourages exploration, creativity, & collaboration while helping participants understand spatial planning and adaptation in an engaging, visual way. These tools gamify traditional spatial planning processes, making them more accessible, interactive, and engaging.
