A community-built future for Baja

Descened

Claim a plot. Place an idea. Let the community decide.

Build a possible future for San José, San Lucas, and the wider Baja Sur—while learning what every choice changes.

“You inherit Baja. What will you leave behind?”

Descened is a collaborative building game about the choices that shape Baja California Sur.

Choose a fictionalized community, claim a stewardship plot, propose what belongs there, and ask other visitors to vote. Supported ideas remain visible on the shared map.

Every proposal teaches a tradeoff. Housing, tourism, fishing, infrastructure, public space, and conservation can all help a community—and each can create new pressures.

Every proposal leaves more than one mark.

The map makes consequences visible without deciding for the community.

01

Water & housing

More homes can relieve pressure and deepen demand on wells, storage, and infrastructure.

02

Work & coastline

Tourism and marine projects can create jobs while changing access, dunes, and fisheries.

03

Heritage & change

A living culture is never frozen, but change can erase the places and practices that hold memory.
