What is Ctrl Shift?
Ctrl Shift builds video games for good. In their upcoming game release, players step into immersive crisis scenarios and solve tasks that are powered by real data. As they interact with these immersive worlds and complete each mission, players generate geospatial data insights that support our humanitarian partners. We combine the thrill of gaming with the value of geospatial science and harness it all for the good of the community.
For gamers, it’s an incredible experience where they can learn and have fun while using their time and skills to make a difference in the world. For nonprofits, the resulting data are critical resources to make better decisions and better support communities in crisis.
