Using a boardgame to teach strategies
The DMD boardgame is a game designed to teach company strategies and values while being entertaining and require a large amount of teamwork and communication to be played efficiently. Our task with this product was not only to design a game but also facilitate a seminar for 300 people to play it in a limited amount of time.

Design
Largely inspired by the Pandemic boardgame with the added twist on not being a game you can lose, there was a challenge to create urgency and decision making through task completion and competition with other tables.
​
The game also becomes progressively more and more difficult with multiple objectives and disruptive events that can flip the game upside down.
Facilitating
Rules, tutorial and help
The project culminated in a big event that required participants to learn, understand, play the game and reflect on it in a 3-4 hour continuous session.
To do this we had leaders learn the game prior to the event to help on location answering questions. We had a tutorial video giving a quick overview of everything as well as a rulebook with the most important information and only 3 pages.
