Together, we've collectively dreamt up and brought to life four unique futures explorations, run public hackathons and education events for hundreds of people online, published The Curious Human's Field Guide to the Future and shipped it to 22 countries (and counting!), launched microgrants to support community-led projects, and shared in the rewards — all in service of accelerating better futures, together.
For too long, the future has seemed to belong to the few and the powerful — futures prophesied from behind walled gardens, detached from reality, packaged and sold back to us as consumers of what lies ahead. But we choose to believe there's a different truth — simple and radical — hidden in plain sight: The future belongs to those who think about it.We believe that simply imagining a better future is the first step to realizing you can build it too — it's the most accessible unit of change there is.
Sound like your kinda thing? Consider joining our community of curious humans from around the world.

"We believe that better futures aren’t built in bubbles. And that the more committed and thoughtful brains, hands, and resources we can put behind a vision of a better future, the more likely we’ll all be to manifest — and benefit from — its fruition."
Multiplayer Futures – Towards an Emergence Economy
Read Our Not-So-Litepaper
A few of the bigger visions that have emerged from our community's discussion and discovery. Not simple predictions or mere possibilities — these are jumping-off points for deeper exploration, speculation, and building. They're the questions we want to answer, the seeds we want to nurture, the worlds we want to build.
In a world that feels increasingly out of sorts, how might we find the solid ground of synchrony: with ourselves, one another, and the world around us?

In this 88 page print edition, you'll find essays, activities, self-reflection, collective imagination, and tools for foresight that can be enjoyed by amateurs and pros alike. We hope that by adventuring through the pages, you’ll find something that stokes your imagination and makes the future part of your curious pursuits.
We believe ‘the future belongs to those who think about it’. Set into action, that means it’s our mission to inspire more people, and we mean waaaay more people to think about and build better futures. But not just more of the same: we’re talking about truly, deeply inclusive futures, which means bringing together perspectives from around the world and across every walk of life into the center of the stories we tell and futures we imagine.
So we’re setting up local chapters of RADAR that will empower members to meet, connect and grow together through everything from talks, workshops, and gallery trips to collective research and local collaborations.
We’ve already set up chapters in Copenhagen, London, Singapore, Toronto, Vancouver, NYC, Amsterdam, Mexico and counting...
The future belongs to those who think about it — but how we think about it together matters just as much as what we imagine. Here are some of that values that guide us as we build better futures in multiplayer mode:
We approach futures with genuine wonder and playful possibility. Asking questions before jumping to answers, we stay open to surprising connections and delight in the wonderfully weird. Better futures need a bit of magic—so we make space for experimentation, treat whimsy as a serious tool, and embrace the power of "what if?" We actively explore what "better" means (and for whom), challenging ourselves to think beyond what feels possible today.
Better futures can't be imagined, let alone built, by any one brain alone. Multiplayer maximalism is our ethos of and invitation to abundance—where connections multiply, ideas cross-pollinate, and dreams grow bolder through collective imagination. We're not building a network, but cultivating a community that builds with and for each other. We celebrate unusual combinations, amplify others' work, and create spaces that feel like your favorite late-night conversations—where everyone's welcome and every wild idea builds on the last. When we dream together, each person's expertise expands the edges of what's possible, making our collective future infinitely more interesting than any of us could imagine alone.
We believe in ownership that fuels autonomy rather than control. By sharing social, emotional, and financial stake in RADAR's future, we create conditions where initiative thrives and ideas can flow from anywhere. This isn't just about who "owns" what—it's about creating a space where everyone feels empowered to contribute their unique magic, pursue their interests, and nurture emerging possibilities. Seeds of ideas are constantly sprouting in our community, and while RADAR itself can't pursue them all, we enthusiastically support members who take the lead. Some of our most exciting projects, like the Field Guide, began as self-initiated sparks that found fuel in our ecosystem.
We take care of the futures we're building by taking care of each other and creating spaces where people feel free to experiment. This means respecting different energy levels, making room for rest, and celebrating many forms of contribution. We believe in permissionless experimentation—where members can try things without waiting for approval, while maintaining a culture where we look out for each other. We design for accessibility across every dimension so everyone can show up fully and pursue what lights them up. The result is a community where people feel safe enough to take risks and supported enough to navigate the inevitable messiness of building better futures together.
Sat in on my first @Radarxyz visioning town hall this am and all I can say is it’s a HUGE breath of fresh air to be among like minds & hearts innovating for the future in tangible & communal ways.
RADAR's community is diverse and smart and an active experiment in sense-making at the edge of tomorrow that you can't help but pay attention to.
While most reports focus on obvious trends and signals, RADAR approaches it from the fundamentals. Their deeper focus on humanity rather than technology is also sorely needed in a world where games have become so financialized.
RADAR allows me to participate in a hivemind of collective intelligence and soundboard emerging ideas. It's my favorite space on the internet.
This is “proof-of-future” for headless trend forecasting, research and reporting by decentralised communities. @Radarxyz is like a more ambitious WGSN, born from #web3.
RADAR re-situates you from a mere observer seeking to understand and capitalize on trends, to an equal an agent, a citizen, a builder, capable of contributing to and shaping the world we live in.
How much time does the community require?
RADAR works at your pace! some folks drop by to share occasional signals, others dive deep into our labs and projects. There's not really a minimum expectation beyond "don't be extractive" — so just be mindful to contribute when and how you can.
Do I need any special skills?
Nope! the only real requirements are curiosity and generosity. our community includes researchers, artists, cultural analysts, network weavers, and folks who just have a knack for noticing interesting patterns. if you're curious about building better futures, you belong here.
What do you mean by 'community ownership'?
Everyone who contributes to RADAR has a stake in the value we create together. this happens through our $SIGNAL token, which you earn through participation – you can't buy your way in. more than just financial ownership, it's about having real agency in shaping our direction.
Do you work with organizations?
Absolutely! We love collaborating with organizations in the private and public sectors who share our values around multiplayer futures. Whether that's through sponsored research, custom workshops, or other creative partnerships. Just know we'll probably definitely try to make your work more accessible and experimental than you're used to!
