If its security, energy, clima, emissions, health and fitness prevention or rehabilitation, sustainable training simulations, city architecture planning, ecological behaviour, game concepts with incentive and reward systems like points, badges or something else in games are motivating. Games can help to face the enormous challenge the society has through game thinking and out of the box solution thinking.
