Business challenge
Adapting a face-to-face board game experience to a fully remote, digital format
AKD Solutions offers Equally Yours, a board game-based training program designed to promote inclusion and open dialogue in corporate environments. Traditionally conducted in person, the game is moderated and played in teams, encouraging participants to engage with real-world social dilemmas.
With the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic, AKD faced a major disruption:
- In-person sessions were no longer viable, halting the delivery of the program.
- Replicating the physical gameplay digitally posed technical challenges, especially in translating tactile elements and real-time collaboration to a web-based platform.
- Preserving the core learning outcomes—open discussion, team collaboration, and inclusivity—within a digital format required thoughtful design.
- Ensuring accessibility and ease of use across different organisations and user demographics was essential for successful adoption.
To address these challenges, AKD sought to transform the Equally Yours experience into an engaging, web-based application. They reached out to GoodCore to develop this web application.
Project goals
The project entailed the following requirements:
- Develop a web-based version of Equally Yours that replicates the in-person board game experience.
- Ensure an engaging and user-friendly interface to support smooth facilitation and active team participation.
- Maintain the core learning outcomes of the game—open dialogue, collaboration, and inclusivity.
