Climate Challenge

We are a little indie games company called Red Redemption, based in Oxford who specialise in games that make you think - especially climate change games and I thought I'd suggest two of our own games if you don't mind?

Climate Challenge (http://www.red-redemption.com/climatechallenge/) is a game we got sponsored by the BBC to make and is free to play. It allows you to run Europe for 100 years and try and tackle climate change whilst trying not to get voted out of office. The game is aimed at players aged 20 and above, and the data in the game is based on the real UN Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change data. Best of all since we launched in January it has had over 1,000,000 plays

The second game is Operation: Climate Control (http://www.operationclimatecontrol.co.uk) another climate change game we made, this time aimed at school kids aged 15-16. It is also free to play and was sponsored by the Department of the Environment. This game is somewhat multiplayer and allows the kids to wade in and have a go, then deal with the problems thrown up by their decision making. Like Climate Challenge the data is as accurate as we could make it

Both games are cool as they are the only games in the world that mix fun strategy games with the real scientific data (we have a full time climate scientist on the team). Also we are a small indie team (6 of us) and we're doing our best to change the world via games. Oh and we named the company after a mad cult in the graphic novel "Lone Sloane Delirious"

Anyway, hope you like them!
