MSP Challenge 

Since 2011, a role-playing game, a board game and a digital interactive simulation platform have been developed under the name Maritime Spatial Planning (MSP) Challenge. The simulation platform combines real-life geodata and advanced game technology to enable the development of different sea basin editions (e.g. a North Sea or Baltic Sea edition). These editions have been used in workshops, conferences, education, as well as for real life stakeholder engagement. As such the MSP Challenge Simulation Platform is an engaging and ‘fun’ tool for building mutual understanding and communicating MSP, and it’s ready to host any sea basin in the world.

We apply MSP Challenge Simulation Platform in workshops and demos to help develop a global learning MSP community.
