DreamUp: A Board Game to Inspire Creative Problem-Solvers

Description:

We are developing DreamUp, a game of creativity, collaboration, and reimagining everyday life. We believe everyone is creative and has the potential to design imaginative solutions to any problem if given the right tools and structure. DreamUp combines design methods and the mechanics of gameplay into a joyful game. Players learn about how to solve problems, but it doesn’t feel like work. This game might be deployed with students at K12 schools and universities, with project teams in the field, and with friends and family at home. We are seeking feedback on DreamUp!
