Since day 1, all of our games have been designed in Switzerland, which has always been recognized for its quality, precision, and reliability.
OUR STORY
Adventerra Games is an eco-friendly Swiss brand specializing in educational games about environmental themes. We are people who share a passion for games, a love for nature and a strong desire to protect our world. From the beginning, Adventerra Games was all about creating exciting games – and showing kids they have the power to help the planet!
2009
Adventerra Games is born
Bryan Mundell, a conservation advocate, professor, and father, realizes there are few good tools to talk about the environment to children. He’s loved games all of his life, and enjoys using them to teach difficult concepts to students. So he realizes gameplay is a great way to transmit his passion for the planet to younger generations! He creates Adventerra Games in Lugano, Switzerland, to educate children about the environment with exciting eco games in schools.
Our first game!
The brand’s first board game, WaterGame, is born, with the goal of helping children understand the importance of water, and how they can conserve it in everyday life. It takes a lot of research, but we are able to make it in an eco-friendly and sustainable way, with plant-based inks and recycled wood, and without any plastic components.
Success in schools
With enthusiastic feedback from teachers, more schools begin using our games. We create three more eco educational board games to address critical environmental issues: recycling, energy use, and climate change. Excited about a new way to teach people to conserve resources, utility companies start sponsoring our games in their local schools.
2016
The team expands
We’re receiving a lot of praise and feedback from parents. So, our small business starts growing, and we expand the brand into retail! We begin offering our games to the general public, and Adventerra Games builds a fan base of families looking for fun green games to play at home.
2019
International interest grows
Thanks to demand from parents of young children, we create a new line of educational games for toddlers and preschoolers! In addition to Switzerland, multiple distributors in Europe now sell the brand’s educational games. The US team launches in November, introducing the eco games to the North American market.
The adventure continues …
Adventerra Games continues to pursue its mission driven by the support of all those who, like us, believe they can save the planet… by playing games!
