Unlocking Social Wellness Through Play

Our work spans advisory and design, using play as a powerful tool to strengthen relationships and social wellbeing in communities.

Some clients engage us upstream for perspective and direction via our Social Wellness Strategy.
Others come to us ready to design something people can experience via our Neighborhood Game Design.
Often, the strongest outcomes combine both.

Social Wellness Strategy

  • Social Wellness Strategy is our upstream, advisory work focused on how social life actually unfolds in a place.

    We help developers and design teams identify and unlock opportunities to strengthen relationships, everyday connection, and collective wellbeing — before decisions are locked into plans, programs, or physical design.

    This work can stand on its own, or it can serve as the foundation for a Neighborhood Game when a more tangible, experiential outcome is desired.

Neighborhood Games

  • Neighborhood Games embed social wellness into the everyday rhythms of a community through playful, shared experience.

    They are a strategic, design-led system for sparking connection, joy, and collective wellbeing in neighborhoods — creating places where people of all ages naturally play with friends.

    Neighborhood Games can take many forms, from a single pilot installation to a network of game-based experiences woven throughout a community.

Everything we do is in service of one idea:

making everyday life an invitation to play with friends.
