BUMI: Next stop, Earth! - Embark on an out of this world planet-saving adventure!

2
By: Ingrid Fridesjoe

    Our earth is turning into a giant landfill and we battle a huge climate crisis. Reports shows that we only have about 10 years to make a U-turn in climate sustainability if we don't want to significantly worsen the risk of more drought, floods, extreme heat, animal extinction and poverty for hundreds of millions of people. Bumi is our intervention. With our mobile game, we aim to increase interest and educate children and inspire youths (the future decision makers) on how to take care of our planet, why it is so important and to encourage their inventive thinking towards climate friendly solutions. In the game, players meet several alien characters who have barely escaped their home planet, which was destroyed from environmental destruction. They see Earth from afar looking green, blue and lush. But as they get closer, they see that we are also on our way to make the same mistakes as them. They decide to make it their mission to help restore this planet’s beauty before we meet the same fate as them. Players will be taught, amongst others, the correct methods of waste management, the outcomes of recycling, the positives of renewable energy, how they can help fight animal extinction and more. Our built-in photo and video mode will also enable players to encourage participation from friends and family by sharing not only their progress, but fun pictures and videos taken with their new alien friends as they embark on their planet-saving adventure.
