Overview:

Utopia: To Be Equal  is a serious game that invites you to explore a world where an ideal planet, Utopia, once flourished, inhabited by beings with extraordinary abilities. Despite their uniqueness, the inhabitants of Utopia faced everyday human challenges. A global catastrophe forced most of them to leave this beautiful planet, scattering them across different corners of the galaxy or immersing them in virtual realms. In this game, the focus is on collective support and mutual growth—not on wins or losses. Every player contributes, and together you build a story that transforms the world.

Utopia: To Be Equal is available as both a tabletop card game and an online version, designed to deepen your understanding of the values of equality, solidarity, and tolerance in society. The game is created to break down toxic stereotypes and promote openness, support, and mutual understanding among everyone—regardless of gender, gender identity, or sexual orientation.

Gameplay:

Set in a world where an ideal planet, Utopia, once flourished and was home to beings with extraordinary abilities, the game challenges you to explore how these beings overcame everyday human struggles. Despite their unique gifts, the inhabitants of Utopia faced common challenges. A global catastrophe forced most to leave this beautiful planet, scattering them to distant corners of the galaxy or into virtual realms. In this game, the emphasis is on mutual support and collective growth rather than on wins or losses.

Built upon authentic experiences that reflect the challenges encountered by people with diverse backgrounds—including women, men, non-binary individuals, and members of the LGBTQ+ community—each player receives a character card that reveals their personal story and grants them an extraordinary ability to help others. Using specially designed decks of Situation, Response, and Support cards, you make decisions that affect your experience level, activity, and burnout metrics. Your actions and interactions with fellow players gradually contribute to restoring the ideal Utopia—a society where equality, mutual support, and tolerance prevail. Every action, every decision, and every bit of support matters.

Advancing impact:

Utopia: To Be Equal challenges toxic stereotypes and demonstrates that the true strength of a society lies in tolerance and mutual support. The game places you at the center of events where every decision counts. It prompts you to consider how, through collective effort, we can build a society where everyone has equal rights and opportunities. Drawing from authentic experiences, the game teaches an approach free from discrimination and prejudice, helping each participant grasp the importance of tolerance. Additionally, interactive and group workshops organized as part of the project enable players to enhance their knowledge and skills while discussing their experiences in a safe environment.
