WCS Malaysia* was one of the organisations to get their hands on the exclusive 1st edition of Reef Stakes®. They wasted no time in using the game for good by conducting two sessions in Sarawak!

Trialling Reef Stakes®

The first game session was with environmental activists and local influencers from the Kuching Beach Cleaners and Sarawak Eco-Warriors. We’re pleased to know that all players loved the game as it simulates real life struggles in reaching a balance between conservation and development.

Members of the groups were also keen on involving Reef Stakes for future conservation education programs.

A second game session was held during the Swinburne Sarawak Inter-School Debating Championship (SSIDC) which involved over 300 debaters and teachers from 31 secondary schools from Malaysia and Indonesia. A huge thank you to the Swinburne Sarawak Green Club who assisted in facilitating and teaching the participants.
