About Event

Playful InSight: An Insight-driven Game Jam to See the Unseen, co-hosted by Singapore-based design consultancy HEIST and Hong Kong-based game design studio Press Start Studios as part of Singapore Design Week. This will be an intensive, hands-on, two-hour design event empowering participants to create their own Games for Change experiences to spotlight the experiences and challenges of communities rarely seen, to create awareness and inspire change on the community level.

VR experiences illustrating immobility; simulation games focusing on community placemaking; board games simulating memory loss: There are many ways to tell meaningful stories for those whose stories aren’t often told, to spark awareness and action. Those whose experiences and needs are often overlooked and taken for granted in everyday design, such as the elderly, the physically challenged, and the intellectually disabled. There will be sharing of easy tips on understanding the environment and behavourial patterns to gather insights on the needs of the unseen.
