Make Your Constitution Game
As a part of the Icelandic Constitution Crowdsourcing project, we launched an educational game to teach citizens in Iceland what constitutions are about from a high level. The game is built using a new open-source Citizens Foundation deep policy game engine called Open Active Policy.
Citizens Foundation America's Josh Lanthier-Welch later wrote the detailed case file on the game, describing the goal as "an engaging fun experience" that still taught constitutional history and design. Read Josh's case file about the creation of the game.
Open Active Policy is now a legacy platform, but the Make Your Constitution demo still works and remains a useful example of how game mechanics can make complex democratic design easier to understand.
