From PLAY-MOBILE to MOBILIMIX: Imagine sustainable mobility together, from city to countryside

How can we move from the car zone to the eco-mobility zone? How can we test the best solutions for society in terms of low-carbon mobility?
Two complementary games, designed for face-to-face activities, make it possible to address these issues. PLAY-MOBILE, suitable for dense areas, is intended for professionals and elected officials in urban workshops. MOBILIMIX, designed for peri-urban and rural areas, is more versatile and accessible to all audiences. Produced in partnership with Cerema and with the support of ADEME, these games raise awareness of the ecological transition in terms of mobility.
