UK Custom Serious Game Developers

Looking to Use a Game to Make Serious Business & Educational Tasks More Engaging?

Serious games (or applied games, as they are often known) can help add fun into what are often seen as mundane corporate tasks and processes as well as making them more memorable and engaging.

Just some of the ways you can use games to start injecting some fun whist adding a more practical, interactive element to these type of exercises are:

We develop serious games ranging from simple interactive quizzes to digital board games, simulations and more. You can use them online and as offline applications for desktop PCs and mobile devices. If you're looking to get a game for your business, we can help.

How Can We Use Applied Games?

We produce games for a huge range of varied uses and the only limits are your imagination. Just some of the possible applications are:

Learning

Use games as an engaging tool to communicate key concepts and messages, or as part of a more structured e-learning course to make learning more enjoyable for adults and kids alike.

Museum & Exhibition Installations

Add engaging educational gaming content to help reinforce information about museum exhibits.

Corporate Training Workshops

Looking for an engaging interactive alternative to learning materials and passive presentations?

Use a game to get your attendees or employees actively involved, talking and actually enjoying the training.

Employee Team Building

Inject some fun into corporate team building exercises. We can create games to be played in groups, encouraging group discussion and collaborative problem solving.

Product Demonstrations

Whether you want to highlight product features and benefits to potential customers or make product knowledge training for staff more engaging, games are a great tool for the task.

Kid's Play Areas

Use digital games as part of a children's play area to entertain kids of all ages. They can include an educational element whilst still remaining engaging and fun.

What Types of Games Can You Produce?

Simulations

Interactive simulations can be used for modelling real world scenarios to facilitate planning in business, raise awareness of real world issues, such as climate change, help with learning through doing and more.

Whether you want to help train till staff in a supermarket or teach kids about the benefits to the environment of household waste recycling, simulations can help.

Interactive Quizzes

If you want to create a quiz to get across the information and test players we can bring it to life with animation and sound.

We can also design unique characters to add some personality to your game and provide a more engaging way to provide instructions, feedback and guide players through the game.

Digital Board Games

Creating a digital board game can be a more engaging alternative to quizzes that offers more involved gameplay, but still have the option of including a question/answer element.

Offline Multiplayer

If you want to encourage participation between groups of individuals or in teams, we can incorporate offline local multiplayer features. This can be implemented as either simultaneous play on the same device or PC, or turn based play for digital board games and quizzes.

Where Can We Use Serious Games?

We design games for a variety situations, from web publishing to PC based digital kiosks for use inside trade show booths, in-store and more, to use in the workplace on office PCs and tablets.

Online

Publishing your game online makes it accessible across a huge range of devices, with no need to install an application, simply by entering a URL or clicking a web link.

Mobile

Targeting tablets and smartphones is a great choice to make your game playable in a huge variety of locations at any time.

Desktop PCs

If you want to use your game in an office or training room environment, we can build as standard Windows PC applications for offline use.

Interactive Kiosks

You don't need specialist hardware to set up a digital kiosk game. We target standard PC hardware and tablets, both of which can easily be set up to run your game.

Back-end Integration

If your game needs to integrate with back-end systems, we can add custom features to your game to facilitate this. Whether it's an off the shelf LMS (Learning Management System), or custom server-side code, we'll be able to plan and integrate your game with appropriate back-end APIs.

Game Design & Prototyping

All game design work is included at part of the production process. This includes producing rough working game prototypes before moving forward to full production of the finished game.

For some types of games we recommend more extensive prototyping, to allow for tweaks and experimentation before committing to final game designs. We can advise on recommended steps on a project by project basis.

Our Approach to Developing Serious Games

We’re firm believers in the value of making serious activities entertaining and enjoyable. We take a different approach to most serious game developers. We don't make sterile, crude, functional (often statistically based) simulations, we bring the same production process and values as we do to the traditional (just for fun) video games we make. We wholeheartedly believe that the fun factor (and production quality) is extremely important.

Our Serious Game Design & Development Services

We have around a decade of experience making digital games for businesses large and small.

We cover the full custom serious game development process, from initial designs, concepts and mock-ups through to the final build, including artwork, animation, coding, music and sound design. Plus we’re here to answer any questions and advise you every step of the way.
