CIRCLE-T GAME
About the game
CIRCLE-T Game is an interactive, story-driven experience that combines adventure and puzzle-solving with real-world challenges of sustainable theatre-making. Players step into the role of a team preparing a performance under pressure, making decisions that directly impact the environment, resources, and the final outcome.
Grounded in circular economy principles (Reduce, Reuse, Recycle), the game introduces green skills through gameplay, showing how creative processes in theatre can become more sustainable and responsible. It transforms learning into action-bridging artistic practice with environmental awareness through gamified scenarios.
