Higher education and research
Transform learning into an interactive experience
We design and develop custom learning games for higher education and research. Each project starts with the learning objectives, the target audience and the teaching or research context.

Learning goalsWe start with what students or participants need to learn.
-
02
PrototypeWe develop an early version of the main game concept.
-
03
TestingWe test the prototype with the people involved.

Research & data-collection games
We build games around research methods in which participants can experience scenarios, make decisions and generate behavioural data.
- Scenario-based decisions
- In-game data logging
- Data export when required
- Collaboration with research teams
03
Gamification consultancy
We help educators and institutions decide whether a game is the right format and how gamification can be used in an existing course or project.
- Learning-goal analysis
- Game format recommendations
- Concept feedback
- Advice for existing courses
