GAMES

Coming soon!



A collection of interactive fiction games, puzzles, and scenario-based experiences designed to explore the social and environmental dimensions of AI systems and their governance. These games invite participants to engage with storytelling, creative problem-solving, and future-oriented thinking through structured play—navigating dilemmas, uncovering hidden assumptions, and experimenting with alternative outcomes. Centered on themes of friction, each experience highlights moments of tension, misalignment, or uncertainty in human–AI interactions and institutional decision-making, encouraging players to reflect on questions of accountability, trust, and agency. By combining elements of trivia, narrative design, and foresight, these interactive formats serve both as educational tools and as forms of PLAY, aligning with the project’s goal to expand AI literacy and institutional imagination through participatory, game-based exploration.

What experiences could you create to reveal, challenge, and reimagine the frictions shaping how AI systems enter our lives?
