EcoWarriors Africa is an innovative interactive driving game designed to inspire African youth to take action against climate change in a fun and engaging way. Unlike traditional approaches such as textbooks or posters, the game integrates environmental awareness into everyday play. Players navigate real city routes across Africa, where each mission challenges them to make eco-friendly decisions—avoiding unnecessary idling, planning fuel-efficient trips, and practicing waste sorting. These actions feed into the game’s EcoHealth meter, where players directly see the impact of their choices on cleaner air, healthier citizens, and greener cities.

The platform combines education, entertainment, and competition by offering diverse mission types such as delivery challenges with time and fuel constraints, waste sorting mini-games, and quick EcoTip quizzes. To keep the experience engaging, players can also participate in ghost racing, where they compete against their best runs or friends’ performances. Rewards and upgrades, including new vehicles, efficiency perks, and fresh skins, encourage continuous play while reinforcing sustainable habits. Every mission completed helps players not only progress in the game but also learn practical eco-friendly behaviors that can be applied in real life.

By being offline-friendly and tailored to local contexts, EcoWarriors Africa ensures accessibility for youth across different regions. With 25 cities planned, over 1,200 beta signups, and 86 in-game EcoTips already integrated, the project demonstrates strong potential for scaling impact. At its core, the game’s mission is to transform eco-awareness into habit-forming action, empowering African youth to understand the consequences of climate choices and become active participants in building a more sustainable future.
