Greenscape Wins Sustainable Impact Contest 2025

Greenscape is a project of the student initiative Enactus Mannheim e. V. and has been committed, since its founding in 2023, to closing the so-called intention-action gap in climate protection, the gap between the desire to act sustainably and actually doing so.

Many people want to contribute to climate action but don’t know how, while countless environmental initiatives are desperately seeking participants. Greenscape bridges this gap in a playful way: with an innovative mobile game that combines environmental awareness with real-world impact.

In the game, players take care of the rewilding of their own virtual island. The more they nurture it, the more visible the positive changes become. But the impact doesn’t stop in the digital world: players can book free tickets through the game to participate in real-life environmental events such as urban greening activities. Participation is verified via a QR code and rewarded with exclusive in-game items.

This way, Greenscape creates a unique link between gamification, environmental education, and community building. Through reward systems and opportunities to connect both online and offline, it fosters a motivating and collective experience.

With the prize money from the Sustainable Impact Contest 2025, the team plans to fund marketing activities for the game’s official launch in 2026 aiming to reach a broader community and amplify its real-world climate impact. Greenscape is supported by partners including VR Bank and ProCredit Bank.

We warmly congratulate Greenscape on their success and are delighted to present this inspiring initiative as the winner of the Sustainable Impact Contest 2025!
