This game is set in the future 100 years from now when planet Earth has been devastated by climate change, unethical technological advances, conflict, and real-world issues.

Back in the 21st century there was a global effort to find solutions that would not harm future generations. These solutions were developed in "sustainability hubs," but they were not integrated into a unified plan and members instead focused on their own little patches. Plus, they couldn't even agree on what the future should look like.

That's where "One world, one future for all" came in. It was like a big connected world in which great leaders tried to talk things out and find common ground. Apparently, the most important topic was climate change! Some folks wanted to reduce what caused it, but others thought it was a lost cause that no one should fight for! Well, the wrong crowd ended up winning, so, here we are, with this reminder of a past attempt at global unity… Which makes you wonder, could we do it better this time?

2121 provides an engaging and safe environment to explore solutions for current global challenges through 3 main camps; Kwan, Xon, and Tiwa. You are put in the shoes of decision makers and are challenged to shape the future of the world by collaborating and competing, building and disrupting, failing and trying again.
