In this episode of Art of the Kickstart, we spoke with Jackson and Gavin Mann, the father-son duo behind SOS Save Our Species. At 15 years old, Jackson turned a trip to Costa Rica into a wildlife card game with the intent to donate 100% of the future profits from his game to charity. Jackson and Gavin built a game meant to make a big, positive change ​by prototyping​ multiple gameplays and working with the World Wildlife Fund. Listen to learn how Jackson and Gavin turned tens of thousands of game trials into SOS Save our Species. Short on time? Here's what we talked about. Normal activities like family vacations, card games and books inspired this new game and conservation effort. Where might you find inspiration? Partnering with the World Wildlife Fund helped Jackson and Gavin fact-check the game. How do you balance technical accuracy with accessibility? The SOS Save our Species team juggled scientific accuracy with ease of understanding for the public. Making a game is harder than one might think. Jackson and Gavin discuss the many rounds of gameplay they used to gather feedback for the game. The team ran into issues when attempting to advertise their game on Facebook. Facebook bots flagged posts related to wildlife conservation as political and blocked them from being posted. Learn what they did to solve the problem.
