Games developing startup, Furies Enterprise has taken a bold step into the world of board games with its latest creation, “Baharia Ninja.”
The game, designed to be both engaging and enlightening, is set to tackle the pervasive issues of plastic waste and climate change.
Speaking to TechMoran, Valentine Gechiko, the co-founder of Furies Enterprise and the creative mind behind “Baharia Ninja,” expressed enthusiasm for the project’s potential impact.
Ms Gechiko stated, “At the heart of Furies Enterprise’s mission is a commitment to using the power of gaming to foster awareness and understanding of pressing environmental challenges. We believe in the power of gaming as a tool for education. Baharia Ninja is not just a game; it’s a journey that allows players to have fun while gaining valuable insights into the critical issues of our time.”
The game itself promises an enjoyable experience, blending entertainment with education seamlessly. This was evident at the Keya Innovation Week 2023 as tech enthusiasts at the event had an opportunity to play the game, the startup being among the exhibitors.
The Mombasa-based company has established regular game nights under the name Furies Rafiki Game Night. Additionally, the firm has forged partnerships with local schools, picking the students as ambassadors of Baharia Ninja.
“Players navigate through challenges and scenarios that mirror real-world environmental dilemmas, making decisions that directly impact the fate of the virtual world they inhabit,” Ms Gechiko noted.
Through this interactive process, the firm noted it aims to instill a sense of responsibility and awareness regarding the consequences of plastic pollution and climate change.
With plastic waste reaching alarming levels globally and climate change emerging as a paramount concern, “By merging the worlds of entertainment and education, we hope to captivate audiences of all ages and backgrounds, fostering a greater understanding of the urgent need for sustainable practices.”
Baharia Ninja is poised not only to provide hours of entertainment but also to catalyze conversations around environmental issues.
