A downloadable game for Windows and macOS

Climate Quest is for ages 8 and up, and is designed to be played in a museum or classroom setting, or at home. It takes approximately 10 minutes to play through the game.

Climate Quest features original 8-bit graphics and a soundtrack in the style of classic Nintendo games. Although everything in the game is based on scientific facts and is vetted by climate scientists, it keeps a playful and optimistic tone.
