As the climate crisis meets a crisis of trust in politics, there is increasing demand for decision-making that people actually own. Enter citizens’ assemblies: representative groups of citizens that learn, deliberate and recommend — giving governments a public mandate for steep, life-shaping choices.
🎮 In an exciting twist, world-class game developers are joining the movement at the launch of a Global Game Jam. World-class developers will compete to build a game that lets anyone step inside this new model of democracy — and helps bring the public along for the journey.
“Citizens, Assemble!” kicks off June 6 and will run through early August. Open to creators of all backgrounds, the jam will have a $10,000 prize for the top game, amongst prizes for additional categories and the potential for further development support for standout submissions. The jam will run across two phases, with teams creating prototypes in a two-week Phase 1, then iterating concepts based on feedback in Phase 2. Final submissions will be judged on a variety of categories including Best Overall, Best Gameplay and Citizen’s Vote (determined by a public voting). Notable guest judges will include Rock and Roll Hall of Famer Brian Eno and award winning founding Chair of BiG (BAME in Games) Kish Hirani.
