In 2004 Auke Ferwerda founded the communication and gaming company Waanzinnig! The company has a gaming department that designs more serious games. Next to entertainment they also have an educational or social content. One example is the energy game.

They energy game is designed because energy saving can and has to be more fun. By monitoring real time energy use in houses the energy game makes saving energy a competition. The more you save the more it helps the environment and off course yourself by lowering the energy bill. With this game they want to limit the energy use and the CO2 emission in Rotterdam and the rest of the Netherlands.
