Environmental and sustainability concerns are pressing issues of our times. The role of education in the context of sustainability has been a point of interest for researchers worldwide. In India, topics ranging from global climate change to local waste segregation are sporadically integrated into the formal K-12 curriculum. This paper focuses on waste management and introduces ‘Trace the Waste,’ an educational board game designed to engage middle school children in exploring domestic waste management practices at both individual and community levels. The aim of this multi-player game is to raise awareness amongst individuals about managing household waste. The paper illustrates the iterative design process and development of the game, including the game mechanics and game play. It also presents a brief overview of how the game evolved after multiple playtesting sessions and early prototyping whilst adhering to the larger objective of designing the game.
