High Resolves came to iThrive Games in 2021 with an existing, successful, in-person role-playing game called C02 and a desire to create a digital version that used less resources (in-person facilitators, paperwork, etc.) to delivering the experience to young people. The High Resolves team also wanted the re-envisioned game to: 1) make onboarding to its concepts easier for players, specifically complex math charts related to a prisoner's dilemma problem; 2) provide more real time feedback to players, including easy explanations of how they arrived at each outcome; and 3) to be playable in hybrid and fully remote settings.
iThrive Games worked with High Resolves to translate the in-person experience onto the iThrive Sim platform, creating C02: Global Climate Negotiations. The game expands High Resolves' delivery method into the digital space, weaves in social and emotional learning, and uses iThrive Sim's internationally-recognized platform and real-time features to create an immersive experiential learning experience for young people.
