  • "I learned so much about the design thinking process and the importance of play"

    Thank you Innovationist Playbox for creating and facilitating a great design thinking workshop. I learned so much about the design thinking process and the importance of play. I appreciate how we went through various activities and tried different strategies, including group work and individual time. After the workshop, I felt energized and made new friends who share a passion for design thinking. I highly recommend this workshop to anyone curious about design thinking or wanting a refresher on the process.

  • "We used the Super Epic game for an project kick-off"

    We used the Super Epic game for a Alumni Coach project kick-off. It allowed to create a safe environment where we the participants would share our aspirations, opportunities to improve and our point of view in a very easy and comfortable way. It allowed us to know each other in a more intimate way that would not have been reached in a typical first meeting. We had a blast with the workshop.
