Questioning our circumstances.
The social impact game Survivance was originally designed with videos from the Wisdom of the Elders Discovering Our Story project. The game is now archived and serves as a model for communities to adapt into their own version of the game.
The Orphan quests include Listening, Core Values, and Broken Hoop.
The Listening Quest
