How is the bioeconomy changing our lives?

Co-creation and co-design: a game to make daily habits more sustainable

AllThings.BioPRO called on its followers to get involved through co-design workshops. They had their say about bio-based products and helped design and test the AllThings.BioPRO serious game “Mission BioHero”.

I agree with being shown YouTube videos. More information

Art and gaming make bioeconomy fun: discover the serious game and the app

Any game development starts with the initial idea and the concept art. In AllThings.BioPRO the art process started with co-design workshops involving citizens and secondary school children to gather ideas and start visualising the future game. The children were particularly creative and invented the characters and backgrounds from which the project started to develop the game.

This gave rise to the Mission BioHero game and the Label BioHero app.

Social Media clips

Online dissemination of the game and the app was carried out, among other things, through the production of four social media clips: two acting as trailer for the game Mission BioHero developed by AllThings.BioPRO, and two social media clips are related to the Label BioHero application.

Label BioHero

Label BioHero

The app in short

Labels are a very important source of information still little considered by consumers. They allow us to understand the composition of the product, its origin and reliability. The Label BioHero app, available for both
Android’s and iOs, aims to fill this gap: users can scan (eco-)logos, labels and EU certification schemes, understand what they are buying and thus make informed choices. In particular, it focuses on bio-based non-food and non-energy products, such as packaging and textiles. The labels in the app are divided into six different categories:

bio-based content
sustainability of forestry biomass
textiles products
end-of-life (what happens at the end of the product lifetime, such as biodegradability)
multi-issue (labels that cover more than one environmental aspect, e.g. Blue Angel))
others (labels that are not directly related to bio-based or biodegradable products as they deal with topics such as fair trade or recycling).

Mission BioHero

The game in short

Saving the Earth by transforming our lifestyle from fossil to bio-based is the goal of the Mission BioHero mobile phone game for smartphones and tablets.
The game, available for Android and iOS users, owes its name to the challenge we are invited to take on. It consists of eight campaigns, each on a specific theme that the player must complete to save the Earth.

The campaigns include quizzes, tasks, mini-games to transform a city from a fossil-based value chain to a bio-based one, the acquisition of special skills and a lexicon summarising important definitions.

Everyone who has a mobile phone and is over 12 years old can play Mission BioHero

The Mission BioHero game is also suitable for school lessons. A manual has been compiled for this purpose, suggesting four scenarios on how the game can be integrated into lessons. It also contains the answers to the quiz questions. The manual is available in English, German, Italian, Swedish and Estonian.
