FutureGuessr represents an innovative fusion of digital gaming and climate change education. The experience offers users an interactive way to visualize potential environmental transformations based on scientific projections.

Developed by Artefact 3000 in collaboration with Réseau Action Climat, the game adopts the mechanics of popular geolocation challenges like GeoGuessr but with a critical twist — instead of identifying present-day landscapes, players navigate digitally rendered versions of Earth altered by climate change under intermediate to high-emission scenarios. These AI-generated environments depict realistic yet unsettling futures, such as submerged coastlines, desertified rainforests, and melting glaciers. These environments are useful for climate change education because they are grounded in IPCC reports.

By situating players in these speculative yet scientifically plausible settings, the experience bridges abstract climate data with tangible, immersive visuals, making complex environmental forecasts more accessible and emotionally resonant.
