In this workshop series, a team discusses how a game could be designed to get us thinking about principles that help us to live a meaningful life. The project was organized as an open innovation, in collaboration with the association Karl der Grosse & the group Intellectual Discussions in English.

The team dived into the best teachable moments from lived experiences and exchanged thoughts on interesting things learned from influential persons, books, and other sources. We used design thinking to understand key components of the game, the story, characters, and rules as well as a prototype and a testing approach.
