Fort McMoney | Be the First to Play

On November 25, TOXA and the NFB, in association with ARTE, will be launching Fort McMoney, a trilingual (English, French and German) interactive documentary game about the issues facing Fort McMurray, Alberta. 

Watch the trailer

Created by David Dufresne (Prison Valley), Fort McMoney explores various facets of Fort McMurray—a town at the centre of Canada’s economic growth thanks to its location at the heart of the oil sands, the world’s largest energy project.

Fort McMoney allows users to immerse themselves in the town’s environmental, social, cultural, economic and political concerns. By meeting citizens and key players in Fort McMurray’s development, users can, among other things, participate in major debates leading to referendums whose outcome—determined collectively by the players—influence the direction of the game for everyone. Participants find themselves taking part in a striking interactive experience that brings to life complex and very real dilemmas.

Users can sign up now at fortmcmoney.com to participate in the documentary game starting November 25.
