In our spare time

When we’re not working with our clients, we like to spend time thinking about our practice, honing our approach, and inventing new tools and methods to bring to future projects. Sometimes we speak or write about our work, share tools demonstrating our way of doing, or run side projects to test out something new.

Experiment

Another Future Board Game

Pushing ourselves to explore new formats, Another Future is a four-player print-and-play board game we developed which is anchored on the values of futures thinking that we care about. Set in the context of a fast approaching climate crisis, each player character has a different vision of how best to address the crisis.
