Each day has a short themed challenge — a quiz, a sorting game, or a carbon calculator. Takes under 3 minutes.

Learn something surprising

After each question or round, we show you the fact behind it — something you can actually use. No lectures, just good information.

Commit to one action

Pick one thing you can do this week — tailored to what came up in your game. Small, realistic, and worth extra points.

Why it matters

The gap between
knowing and doing

Extensive research in Behavioural Change, Climate Communication, Gaming and Marketing tells us that people want a Simple · Hopeful · Fun way to access factual information. That's exactly what we built.

80%

of Irish people are willing to make changes but most don't know where to start.

52%

say they feel powerless and don't believe their individual actions can make a difference.

45%

say it is almost impossible to find information about climate action that they can easily understand.

37%

Individual efforts can contribute to reducing greenhouse gas emissions, according to the UN IPCC report. Every action counts.
