Two cartoon aliens with large heads and blue skin, wearing pink glasses, holding hands, surrounded by stars, with the text 'We Can Gamify Anything!' above them.

Our library of great places to play with friends.

This archive offers a glimpse into the different types of play we design and how we adapt them to maximize place-based storytelling, age inclusivity, and social connection.

These projects live in parks and plazas, lawns and rooftops, and along trails and more. Some imagine entirely new spaces, while others layer play into existing amenities and neighborhood features.

Together, they demonstrate the versatility of play as a tool for community-building, and our ability to design it across many contexts to create more connected, joyful communities.
