As part of the European Union (EU)-funded Inprofood project – which aims to bring together research, industry and civil society to figure out how to solve Europe’s food-related health challenges, including obesity and related diseases – Ecsite, the European network of science centres and museums, has created a PlayDecide discussion game.

Designed for visitors between the ages of 14 and 21, the game stimulates discussion around tough food issues such as eating disorders, food waste, sustainable eating and personal accountability for food choices.

The overarching question posed by the game is: who is responsible for rising obesity in Europe, and who must correct the problem – government or consumers?

Seventeen science centres in 11 countries are hosting the game, which has been translated into local languages. Results and ideas coming out of the game will be compiled and submitted to the EU when Inprofood finishes in November 2014.
