Sustainable Consumption:
how consciously do you shop?
Everyone shops. The weekly shop, a quick lunch, a new pair of shoes… We make choices every day.
But how conscious are those choices, really? Is what seems sustainable actually sustainable? And is the cheapest option always the best?
Sustainable Consumption helps you discover that reality is rarely black and white.
*This serious game is currently only available in Dutch.
What is Sustainable Consumption?
What is sustainable? And what isn’t? There isn’t really a simple answer. Sustainability depends on a whole host of different factors: transport, health, water consumption, waste… but also simply on the price of a product.
With Sustainable Consumption, you’ll discover how all these factors come together. You’ll learn to look at products more critically and realise that a good choice isn’t always the most obvious one.
Two game modes. Endless possibilities.
⚔️ Battle
Compare two products based on a specific criterion. Which one scores best? Choose and find out straight away why. Play alone against the computer, together on the same device, or online against each other.
🏆 Ranked
Rank a whole group of products from best to worst based on various criteria such as price, transport, packaging or food waste, and discover that not every product scores equally well!

Access to the game?
Sustainable Consumption is currently in beta. This means that the core of the game works, and you can start playing today, but we are still fine-tuning it, so you may occasionally encounter a bug or unexpected behaviour whilst playing.
You can already try out part of the game for free by clicking the button below. To do so, you’ll need to create a free account.
Would you like full access – to all products, game modes, or perhaps even access to the mode for teachers or organisations? If so, please get in touch; we’d be happy to set up a trial account for you.
If you come across anything unusual whilst playing, or if you simply have some feedback, please do let us know via the same email address. At this stage, every comment is valuable.
We hope to be able to share a finished version with you soon!
