The Green Gold Game

Developed with Coney

As part of our Sustainable Palm Oil Campaign, The Green Gold Game explores the choices plantations, governments and consumers make in the palm oil industry.  The game aims to provide a richer understanding of why sustainably grown (and RSPO-certified) palm oil is the best choice we can make as consumers.

Your class will play as Plantation Farmers and Government Ministers.

Plantation Farmers will play the Plantation Game, making choices about how palm oil is grown – sustainably or not.

Government Ministers play the Government Game, making choices about whether or not to support sustainable palm oil growth. These students can also help you run the Plantation Game.

“The class had the time of their life, they were right at the end of their palm oil topic so had already learned quite a lot…. this game gave them a practical understanding of it all and they really got how the decisions aren’t easy… all in all they loved it!”
