Games provide cognitive guide rails through complex problems. They do so in a way that respects the autonomy of a cross-functional team. Paper cannot enforce rules that teams don’t want to respect, but it is the perfect medium to share the wisdom of their inventor.
The history of techniques like Planning Poker and Squad Health Check demonstrate that successful games add to the impact and reputation of their inventor.
So you have an idea. You may have already created a prototype. Perhaps you've played and tested it with a group of people at work. Now you want to take it a step further, get more feedback and test whether it could work in other settings, played by other teams in other companies. You believe it can improve or add value to a existing process and you want to validate this belief.
We want to hear from you.
Here's is an outline of our process with the 4 steps or services we can offer:
1. DISCUSS
Every time we speak to an innovator, we learn the importance of communication when it comes to ideas. In our own company, we experience how we are able to think of creative solutions to problems just by talking to one another. So get in touch with us about your idea so we can:
- Brainstorm ways to make it happen
- Suggest mediums to communicate it
- Share our manufacturing expertise on how to turn your idea into a physical product.
Our BLOG section can help you go a step further and write about your motivation and reason for creating your game. We'd love to share your thoughts!
2. PROTOTYPE
Prototypes are important when you want to get early feedback on your idea and test it out with your users without spending a lot of time and money in the beginning. We can help with a:
- Quick prototype using a sharp knife and some cardboard or
- A more professional quality prototype using CAD cutters and other machinery.
So speak to us so we can build you a prototype to help you get genuine actionable feedback.
3. TEST
We've created a meetup group called the Agile Games Workshop which has a membership of nearly 600 people who want to talk and play serious games, find new ones and share feedback and best practices.
We will be delighted for you to present your game to our audience either face to face or online and help you get feedback on your idea from a keen audience.
4. RETAIL
Our Innovators Range is all about showcasing the innovator behind the game providing our customers with context, useful insights into understanding why the game was created and how it works. We also want it to become a place for customers to share their feedback and start a discussion.
With our manufacturing skills on card decks, board games, posters and kits, we can help you take the first step to manufacturing your first retail batch. Our prices are competitive and there are no minimum quantities. We can offer profit sharing agreements and take care of the storage, shipping and handling as part of our day to day operations.
So if you're ready to take the next step, get in touch to discuss your idea
