Featured in the Lab
This month, we’re coming together to celebrate the release of Gamestorming 2.0, the long-awaited update to the best-selling book on creative collaboration. With three new chapters and 95 powerful techniques, Gamestorming 2.0 shows us how to design enlivening group experiences that spark creativity, deepen connection, and make work more engaging—whether in-person or online. During our celebration, you’ll have the chance to play some of the new games featured in the book—Event Horizon, Hidden Variables, Squiggle Birds, Coffee Question, and Altitude. We’ll explore how these playful techniques can elevate collaboration and give away a copy of the book. Join us, play a few games, and win a copy while we honor this exciting milestone for the facilitation and innovation community.
