CONSULTING
As experts in the field of gaming we give speeches at conferences, publish and consult. We help companies, museums and institutions when it comes to communicating content in a playful way.
Current projects
Our main focus is communicating historical, as well as critical, political and scientific matters through games. Find a small selection of past projects below.
You want to realize your own serious game or gamification idea? Or convey complex matters in an engaging and motivating way, but don't know how? Then we are the right partner for you! We are happy to support you with your individual project.
In doing so, we are not limited to a specific media format, though our focus is on playful interaction - spanning analog, digital, performative or mixed reality.
From Idea to Reality
Playing History considers itself an expert when it comes to games, playful interactions and their impacts. Our project partners, meanwhile, bring their expertise in terms of content. We therefore work closely with our partners during the development phase of every project.
