“IMPACT QUEST” is an interactive and educational two-part game that helps players explore what social entrepreneurship is. It demonstrates how social enterprises can address various social issues — for example, in the fields of employment, culture, or the environment — while maintaining a balance between social goals and profit. The purpose of social entrepreneurship is to create real change in the world, rejecting the idea of maximizing profits for business owners personally. In this game, participants tackle global challenges and transform them into inspiring business ideas.

In the first part of the game, players explore common social problems, generate different ideas and solutions, and develop a viable concept that could foster real change in society. In the second part, the vision of the idea is turned into a concrete action plan, developing a social enterprise that drives transformation.

The creators of “IMPACT QUEST” drew inspiration from real tools used by social entrepreneurs to build their businesses. For instance, social impact mapping helps to understand key problems and their effects; theory of change allows step-by-step planning of how an idea can create real impact; and the business model canvas helps design a company that balances mission and profit.

The board game is designed to be played in groups — each group consisting of 4 to 6 players. Although the main target audience is young people aged 16 to 25, anyone interested in learning more about social entrepreneurship or using the game as a tool to develop their own social business idea is welcome to play!
