The Adaptation Game (TAG)

TAG - The Adaptation Game

Greater Shepparton City Council invites you to play TAG, a hands-on board game, designed to help communities be better prepared and more resilient to weather emergencies.

How ready are you for a weather emergency in Greater Shepparton?

Explore how you can prepare, adapt, and contribute to a stronger, safer community. Through real-life scenarios, you’ll make decisions about how to protect your home, family, town and environment. No act is too small. No idea is too big.

Why Play TAG?

TAG is a cooperative game with no winners, just solutions. You’ll play alongside three others, guided by a facilitator who makes the experience easy and enjoyable. Whether you're a seasoned gamer or a first-timer, TAG is for everyone.

Come for the game, and discover how your everyday actions can make a meaningful impact on Greater Shepparton’s resilience.

What You’ll Gain

Playing TAG offers more than just fun; it’s a powerful learning experience:

  • Build community connections and highlight the importance of working together.
  • Reduce anxiety by understanding how to respond to weather emergencies.
  • Strengthen local ties and create a support network that matters when it counts.
  • Feel empowered to take action and keep your community thriving through adversity.
  • Be creative and uncover the smarter, stronger version of yourself.
