I Played the EPA's Recycle City Game

Recently, I tested out an online game from National Geographic about recycling. I found the game confusing, so I decided to test another game. I found the "Recycle City Challenge" from the EPA and decided to try it out.

For you: Review | National Geographic's Recycle Roundup Game

Description

In the game, the player must "visit" different locations (e.g. house, store, etc.) and answer questions about recycling. For example, when I click on the kitchen in my house, it asks, "Your family’s 30-year old refrigerator broke. What next?" and I must select the correct answer. The game says the final score at the end based on the player's answers.  

Gameplay

I found the game to be enjoyable and informative. Even though it appeared somewhat dated, I still learned about recycling and respecting the environment. When the game concluded, I could post my score to the ranking of the top scores from the last 3 days. 

The music playing during the game was bothersome, but there is a button to turn it off.

The bottom line

"Recycle City Challenge" can educate young people about the three R's: reducing, reusing, and recycling. Anybody who wants to learn about these topics should check it out!
