This game is inspired by the work of Gapminder and Our World in Data. It uses data to give you a better understanding of the state of the world. To borrow from Our World in Data’s mission: To make progress towards a better future, we need to understand what’s already working and where further action is needed. This game is a playful way to learn a bit more every day.
Be prepared to be surprised!
