The Imagine Cup Game Design competition is one of the most unique parts of the competition. Competitors have to think outside of the box to create fun, engaging games that also help solve world issues.

Team GreenWorld has built a solution that aims to help improve environmental conditions through education and motivation. They were partially inspired by the Sofia spring cleaning. They saw how people from all over the community would work together to clean their area.

Their game allows players to clean up and tend to a virtual world. The players go on quests with other players in the virtual world, and through these activities they can earn achievements and badges. The game seems to be styled in a similar fashion to the Farmville and Cityville social games.

I feel this game has a great amount of potential. While they may not have advanced beyond the first round of the competition, they still plan on bringing their game to market. You can read more about the project at there blog, here.

Until Next Time,
