Rice Up

For ages: 16+ – Duration ? – Languages: NL – Rating:⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ – Paid game………………………………….

From the will to achieve the Sustainable Development Goals more broadly and deeply, and to show the interplay between these goals, Willem Bennenbroek and Marieke van Hoof, together with Radboud University, came up with the game Rice Up. In this serious game, you as a player take on the role of a rice farmer in Rurori. You want enough money in the bank, food on your plate and a good future for your children in a healthy living environment. But, that turns out not to be so easy. Rice Up focuses on mapping the dynamics between SDGs. Gradually, this dynamic quickly shows itself in an interactive way.In order to explain the connections between the 17 SDGs, Cultural Anthropology lecturers at the Radboud University, Luuk van Kempen and Lau Schelpen decided to develop a board game. In this ‘serious game’ players experience the daily life of a rice farmer and learn how issues such as food security, farming practices and education interact.

Being a Rice Farmer yourself as player

In addition to the everyday choices you will face as a rice farmer in Rurori, your SDG knowledge will be tested and unexpected events will come your way. Knowledge questions are used to ask general information about the SDGs and the current status of these goals. Through event cards, players learn to anticipate their choices and master the system of the Sustainable Development Goals in a playful way. All choices have an effect on your community and your joint SDG score, which you can easily keep track of on our online dashboard. Players try to establish a sustainable future for Rurori together and develop a suitable strategy together. Players manage to achieve larger goals despite inequalities keep seeing? Remember: only together can we achieve the SDGoals.
