Role: Game design, Level design, Interaction design, Narrative design
Target audience: Age group 6-12
Released: 2012-2014
Zapp Your Planet was a cross-media theme week in which children learn more about sustainability and environmental issues. During this week there was a daily television show accompanied by an online game. We built the games supporting the television show for three consecutive years, from 2012 to 2014.
In 2013, for example, it focussed on the subject of CO2 and what viewers can do themselves to limit their emissions in a number of topics: eating meat, hot and cold, trees, electricity and transport. During the week four Zapp presenters battled each other to see who was the greenest presenter, who was the best expedition leader and who knew the most about sustainability. They were assisted by Zapp viewers who earned points for their favorite presenter via an online game.
At the end of the week the winning presenter could take 2 viewers who were on their team to go on an expedition.
My role
