Environmental and allows people to play and test their nature knowledge across a variety of fun experiences, all while providing participants with the information they need to make a lasting, positive impact.

Saving Nature Claw Machine

Like a classic arcade claw machine game, the Saving Nature Claw Machine offers participants the opportunity to save endangered and at-risk species.

Launched in 2017 at Coachella Music & Arts Festival, this multi-faceted experience also features informational signage, an educational quiz, and a photo sharing opportunity to help get the word out.

Altogether, this game allows people to walk away with not just a stuffed animal, but also the knowledge and means to help conserve their favorite animals. After the event, each participant receives email updates to stay in touch with their "spirit animal" and learn more about how to protect them through a deeper involvement with protection organizations.

Poltar the Great

Poltar the Great is an interactive fortune-telling polar bear who sits in a 10-foot arcade box. An all-knowing soothsayer, he provides solutions to cope with today's most pressing environmental issues.

Launched in 2015 at Coachella Arts & Music Festival, Poltar reads participants mission-driven fortune cards depicting nature's gifts. Every person who speaks to Poltar leaves wiser and is tasked with a special mission. Following his predictions guarantees a better future for us all.

Saving Nature Solar Arcade

The Saving Nature Arcade is an environmentally conscious twist on an 8-bit video arcade. Solar-powered, re-skinned gaming classics spotlight key environmental challenges: waste and recycling, water, energy, carbon footprint, urbanization, and natural resource conservation. First shown at Coachella Music & Arts Festival in 2014, popular titles that attendees could play with tokens from other Saving Nature efforts included No ImPact Man, Urban Frogger, Waste Invaders, Water Patrol and The Dangerous Dig. High scorers won backstage passes to Arcade Fire's performance along with a better understanding of their impact on the environment.

Polar Bear Dating Game

Love knows no distance - from the Arctic to Indio! One lucky contestant each weekend woos Ursus with their knowledge and commitment to Mother Earth in return for a bear hug (and backstage passes).

Portal Potties

Porta-Potties are transformed into unique works of art that combine the musical history of Los Angeles with the diverse visions of the artists who created them. Each Portal Potty represents a decade of Los Angeles music history - from 1900 to present day.
