to organizations and institutions

We specialize in creating innovative learning and game experiences for students, educators, and schools. Additionally, we collaborate with inspiring organizations on bespoke projects, ranging from game design to talent development. Check out our past projects for a behind-the-scenes look at our design process.

Welcome to The Drawing Board - a sneak peek behind the scenes at how we do what we do.

  • It might seem like we do a lot of different things - and that part is true - but the one common thread that underlies all of our work is that we are always looking to unlock the maximum potential of games as a medium.

  • We constantly dissect and analyze games, game systems and game mechanics to then reverse engineer, re-theme, modify, mix and match, and design from scratch games, game experiences and game-based programs and curriculum with a purpose.

  • Our experience in design thinking and human-centered design allows us to approach the game experience design process with a tried and tested methodology that focuses on the experience of the player (who could be a student, an employee or a customer).

  • Throughout that design process, we first work with the contracting party to understand the overall themes and objectives before we settle on a game system.

  • It’s from these initial ideas that we start charting a course towards the ultimate goal, and just as in every design process, we go through multiple rounds of testing and iteration before finalizing our design.

  • Citizenship

    Games make our work fun, but it’s the design process that invigorates us and the learning objectives that get us going.
