Uuugh – False Play
“Uuugh – Falsches Spiel” is a serious game that helps you understand perpetrator strategies in the context of (sexualized) violence in a playful way and see through them in real life. Would you recognize if someone was manipulating you? Especially with the aim of committing (sexual) violence? In Uuugh – Falsches Spiel, you become the main character – but in a completely different way than you might be used to: you take on the role of the perpetrator. What may sound unusual at first glance has an important reason: you learn how perpetrators act in the context of (sexualized) violence, how they manipulate, isolate, and make people dependent—and that's exactly what helps you see through such strategies more quickly in real life.
Corrugated
„Corrugated“ is a mobile 3D game that takes the player into a virtual corrugated board production plant. Within different scenarios, the players, as an omnipresent character, receive an assignment that describes a disruption in the production process, which must be resolved. Collect – Identify – Solve: Through this process, the players strengthen their problem solving skills based on common problems that can occur in a corrugator. The players move around a virtual corrugator in different scenarios and interact within the game by collecting information from individual people and machines. Important information is stored in the service protocol – the problem can only be identified, when all important clues have been found and understood. Selecting a machine part, the players can choose the problem responsible for the disruption from a variety of possible options. In the next step they have to choose an appropriate action for the solution. The serious game can be connected to a learning management system via a xAPI so that the game can be used during training periods. Via the learning platform, the individual learning progress can be reviewed by the learners themselves and the trainers.
The Great Climate Challenge
Polar ice caps are melting, sea levels are rising, weather extremes are in the news every day – climate-related hazards are becoming more intense, longer and more frequent. Climate scientists agree that humans are causing global warming and climate change. But where do scientists work in the field to get the facts on climate change? And how do they gather and analyze data from the atmosphere, oceans and land? To find out about these often neglected subjects, the user travels to four remote research stations all over the world (and space) to meet four young scientists in the field. There, many tasks have to be solved by the user to finally receive the “license to have a say in the climate debate”.
Trash Monsters
Welcome to the World of the Trashmonsters
When it comes to the topic of waste separation, many citizens are able to judge by which types of waste are sorted in their hometown, but when it comes to assigning concrete waste products to the correct bin, most soon reach the limits of their own knowledge.

With its well-thought-out concept and lovingly elaborated story, it appeals to waste sorters of all ages, to whom it introduces correct waste separation as well as the wider world of waste management through its playful approach. The app is packaged as an interactive adventure game, on whose adventure journey the players get to know the charismatic trashmonsters, with whom they overcome all hurdles together.
