Liz King dropped by our stand 2-113 to pitch her boardgame about lab work. Brilliant stuff. So I invited Liz to show it off at the #GamesinEdu networking & demo at 12.30 Sunday in the Pizza Suites at #UKGamesExpo

Playtesting some puzzles from our Immunology game with @immunojo.bsky.social. Three very happy players - that was fun! So clever! Would definitely recommend.
Drop by stand 2-113 if you’d like to play and/or playtest some mini escape games.

What’s your recommendation for educational boardgames for adults, please? Especially keen on games that aren’t made to be educational. Doesn’t have to be knowledge, could be thinking skills, social skills, etc.
What springs to mind?

Play-testing a MegaGame about decarbonisation with @jrbarrett.bsky.social and team. Last round is always difficult when people realise no consequences for bad actions as the game is about to end.

Love this. I was running a game called "Gone Viral" about a zombie pandemic when the pandemic hit. <coff> It hasn't been out in a while . .. .

Made a Newsflash to ramp up the tension at our #interprofessionalworking mega-game tomorrow. Loved creating the fictional town of Otterdale and filling it with people & their problems. Thanks to my brilliant journalism colleagues @leedstrinity.bsky.social #yearofteachingplayfully #No1forJournalism

Demoing Telescape for #edugames. “Gone Viral” was a student induction game then a commercial ER venue, an avatar game during Covid, filmed & made interactive for Telescape, & finally inspired a bespoke game for clinicians. Today I’m showing it to the NHS. Minus the zombies.

I begin my #yearofteachingplayfully using an #LBMG #campusgame to introduce a new cohort to LTU. I made a template customisable to any course e.g. using a core programme text rather than an academic skills one for a library puzzle.
Anyone else using #Actionbound?

Can you use TTRPGs to teach Philosophy? Our feasibility study says “YES!”, but maybe 5th ed DnD is too complicated?

What should be on our game-based learning reading list?
Let’s start with this juicy tome ordered from the LTU library (*best* perk of academia!). Excited to get stuck in.
Any recommendations?
