WE BRING OUR GAME DESIGN EXPERTISE TO YOU.

Games reach and engage teens in an unmatched way. We use our teen mental health and game design expertise to translate our clients' educational programming, expertise, research, and vision into games. We help our clients imagine and create game solutions that are meaningful and impactful for young people. We work with a large network of development partners to create whatever kind of game you imagine, whether it's played on a table or a tablet, a mobile device or computer, with a virtual reality (VR) headset or on a console. 

OUR TEAM CAN DESIGN A GAME WITH YOU THAT:

WE'LL MANAGE THE GAME DESIGN PROCESS FOR YOU FROM START TO FINISH, AND:
    • Skillfully engage teens from start to finish and fold their wisdom, needs, and creativity into each stage of the design process (planning, prototyping, testing, and branding).
    • Collaborate with your team of subject matter experts to define/refine game objectives, and integrate teens' identified needs in the mapping of ideal outcomes.
    • Lead a collaborative process and direct a team of artists, writers, developers, and programmers around defined goals and game objectives, ensuring the game's  visual, narrative, and audio design and gameplay mechanics are highly engaging and impactful.
    • Leverage the Universal Design for Learning (UDL) framework to support accessibility across the widest possible range of learning needs, designing for multiple means of engagement, representation, action, and expression.
    • Expertly integrate social and emotional skill-building—a practice proven to promote and protect teen mental health—throughout the player experience, elevating your game to a wellness-supporting experience for teens

PROMOTIONAL MARKETING:

Our promotional marketing services empower you, your network, and the teens who play your game to spread the word about it across their platforms. Customized assets have included:

  • Custom trailers and behind-the-scenes videos that highlight the genius of teens and the game's co-design process
  • Teen-facing social media toolkits with ready-to-share posts for Instagram, TikTok, and other platforms popular with young audiences
  • Adult-facing promotional toolkits with ready-to-share social media posts and email copy
