The Climate Game was launched during a session of the 11th COY (Conference of Youth), the youth equivalent of the COP21, in Paris, France. The workshop was held by members of the World Youth Parliament for Water, a network of young people active in the water sector. The creators of the Climate Game are Anne-Sophie Ste-Marie with the help of Susanne Reitsma, respectively Canada and Netherlands representative at WYPW. The Climate Game is actually an adaptation of a famous social game call either Werewolf or Mafia in different countries of the world.
Since the launch in Paris, the game has been played again in other countries and occasions.
