Why A Game?
Why you want a game instead of...
A boring lecture or class
Research has shown that games are an extremely effective tool for learning. Games encourage social and systemic learning in ways other media just don’t. They offer a safe space for failing: which means learners can take more risks! Participation in classes where games are included is also higher. This isn’t just about digital games either. Roleplay scenarios and tabletop games can make complicated materials digestible. Allison still remembers the devastation of losing everything when her Grade 10 history teacher had the class roleplay a simulation of the stock market in 1929. From one time workshops at conferences, to activities that can be used repeatedly in classes games can make a lasting impact on learners of all ages and types.

An awkward team building activity
A well-designed game has all the ingredients to create a perfect team-building experience. Defined roles for all participants, challenges that foster camaraderie and a shared social accomplishment, and moments to spotlight and highlight the skills of everyone participating. Be it a board game or an escape room, a curated game experience will bring your colleagues (or even your friends!) together, challenge what you can do, and end with stronger connections and bonds than you began.

An unimaginative present
The best gifts are the ones that will surprise and delight their recipients. Imagine: opening a birthday present from your friend and it is a custom platformer that you get to play as your pet cats, receiving a wedding favour that is an interactive map of the couple’s relationship that you discover through play, or unwrapping a holiday present and it is a custom card game about your family tree. The possibilities are near infinite for cool things!

A traditional party
Why have a normal birthday party when you could have a murder mystery or an interactive play? Give your friends the time of their lives by having them live through their nostalgic online chat rooms in the late 90s, solve murder-she-wrote-inspired crimes, or put on bedsheets to become the ghosts of a band who must resolve all of their interpersonal drama lest they remain in purgatory forever. Games can create the exact party you are looking for, from incredibly emotionally poignant to plain ole goofy fun.
