Urban coastal communities are among the most vulnerable to flood hazards, with these threats set increase under climate change. Knowledge of how uncertainty shapes passive or proactive local decision-making processes adaptation remains sparse – significant potential inform resilient and sustainable futures. To understand decision dynamics, we developed a serious game simulate governance roles, resources, assets involved in managing risk uncertain scenarios. Using data on actions workshops conducted Philippines, identify three distinct archetypes collective decision-making: (1) Hierarchical Alliances; (2) Passive Enthusiasts (3) Deliberative Strategists. We then examine respond situational, temporal, choice, outcome uncertainties present change scenarios, uncovering six strategies used act, reduce, supress, forestall uncertainties: (a) resource sharing; (b) coordination; (c) early action; (d) mobilising values; (e) transferring accountability; (f) balancing. Our results show different perform decisions, offering new guidance structure mechanisms planning impacts.
