Mars Horizon is a finalist in the 2021 James Paul GEE Award in the Informal Learning category. We think games can be a brilliant tool for learning and that is definitely something we focussed on with Mars Horizon.
With Mars Horizon we wanted to create an experience that thrills, informs, and entertains, but more importantly we want to make sure the player has an appreciation for where our species is and how we got here. Even though it's a game about being the first crew to Mars, we've highlighted the cooperation between space agencies, humankind's ingenuity, and spirit of adventure. We worked to bring our collective space exploration history into the game, as we wanted Mars Horizon to be accessible, inspiring, and fun.
The GEE awards also includes the People's Choice awards and we'd love it if you could vote for us!

Thank you!
