Innovation Games

Strategy You Can Feel, Conversation You Will Never Forget

We help you run simulations and forecasts to explore how value actually flows through a system and to envision multiple emerging scenarios. Our games are designed and optimized for lively tabletop conversation, not private rumination.

Signature Workshop Games

Deep, facilitated simulations — multi-hour, full-team, built for your biggest strategic questions.

Futures Wheel game in progress — teams mapping cascading consequences of emerging disruptions
The Game

Futures Wheel

Map the cascade of consequences from any disruption or decision. Teams trace first, second, and third-order effects — building a shared picture of what's coming before it arrives.

Value Networks game in progress — teams physically embodying ecosystem roles and tracing value flows
The Game

Value Networks

Participants become nodes in their own ecosystem — trading value, surfacing bottlenecks, and finding the leverage points no slide deck could reveal.

Fast Play Games

Bite-size sessions your team can run in about 90 minutes. No login, no setup — players join anonymously, teams self-form, and everyone competes on one sharp challenge. Run it yourself or have us facilitate.

~90 minutes  •  Facilitated or self-run  •  No auth, anonymous players  •  Teams self-form  •  Head-to-head

Ice-Breaker

Half-Baked

Teams fuse two mismatched ideas into a startup pitch and sell it on the spot. Fast, funny, and a dead-simple way to warm a room up for the real work.

Domain Map

Maco Modo

A guessing game played across a domain map. Teams peek, deduce, and race to place things where they belong. ("Maco" — Trini for a curious eye.)

Emerging Tech

Deal the Deck

Twelve emerging technologies, one industry, ninety minutes. Teams draw tech cards at random and argue a real path from each one to their own P&L — including the ones that sound absurd.

Business Models

Fifty-Five Ways

Most new business models are recombinations of fifty-five known patterns. Teams draw three at random and rebuild their own model from them.

Futures Sprint

Escape to the Future

A ten-station futures game scored live by an AI. Teams work stations like Abductive Detective, Sacred Cow, and Goodhart's Law — and the model refuses to award top marks for anything an agent could have written.

Ecosystem Stress-Test

Five Rounds of BANI

Run your ecosystem through brittleness, anxiety, nonlinearity, and incomprehensibility — each a fast round with a concrete team task — then a final integration round that makes it actionable.

Scenarios

Four Futures Before Lunch

Two axes, four worlds, one industry. Pick the two uncertainties that actually matter, build the quadrants, name the four futures, and argue about which one you're already living in.

Perception

See Something New

Built on Visual Thinking Strategies. The room studies one ambiguous image in silence, defends every claim with evidence from it, and discovers how much it invented.
