For learning & development teams

Turn training into practice that sticks.

I help teams decide what people need to practice, then turn the right idea into a playable experience. Try it in an hour, have a branded game made, build one with your team, or commission a workplace role-play.

Ways to work together

Choose the amount of help you need.

Each option has a clear starting point. We confirm the right scope and timing on the free call.

01 / Have it made$1,500

Your branded game

Your game, in your brand, handed back finished. After a short intake you send your finished questions and a logo, and I build the rest.

  • Your logo, colors, title screen, and wording, with no EM Designs mark
  • Up to 30 questions across three rounds that get harder
  • Pass mark set, completion and score reporting on, and the SCORM file tested before you get it
  • A short teaser clip and an announcement note to launch it to your people

You choose from a menu: the game, the rounds, the pass mark, the brand, the wording. Two rounds of changes to those choices are included, and one round of fixes on my side if the file misbehaves in your LMS. The SCORM file is yours for good, for any number of learners. The hosted link stays live for 12 months, and you can swap the question bank once in that year. Writing the questions from your source material, new game mechanics, and custom artwork are separate work. I take on two a month. If I cannot deliver what we agreed, you get a full refund.

02 / Build it with your teamFrom $2,500

Build Day

Everything in the branded game, built live with your team in one afternoon. I prepare the first version before we meet; your people direct the changes while I build.

  • Three format families: timed action, find the problem, recall
  • Your team decides tone, feedback, scoring, and pacing live
  • We test the LMS launch together

For teams who need several people to agree on the result, or want to see how it is made. One decision-maker signs off the content before the day. Add the editable source and a handover session so your team can revise it themselves: from $5,000 in total.

03 / Something newFrom $3,500

Workplace role-play or custom build

A role-play set in your workplace: the learner walks the floor, talks to coworkers, and makes four or five decisions that lead to different endings. Or a new mechanic that no existing game covers.

  • We agree the decision map first: the decisions, the branches, and the endings
  • Feedback written for your situation, in your brand
  • Tested, SCORM-ready handoff for your LMS

The difference from a Build Day: a Build Day fills an existing game with your content. This is a decision structure designed for your situation. Scope and price are fixed once the decision map is agreed. Limited availability.
