Good Games
At PlayGood, we combine our passions for crafting playful learning experiences and making a real impact. Let us share the story of PlayGood and the social challenges we care about.
Owner & Game Designer
Maarten van Broekhoven
Since 2009, I’ve been designing playful learning experiences that make a real difference. Whether it’s serious games, board games, or gamified programs, I love using the power of intrinsic motivation to tackle important social challenges. At PlayGood Games, I’ve found my purpose (IKIGAI): combining my passion for game design with a drive to create lasting impact.
Besides PlayGood, I also co-own Upgraded Studio, where we’re developing our first indie game, Orebits. Curious? You can already try the playable demo on Itch.io!
As if that’s not enough, I’m also the part-time lead designer at Shapers, global pioneers in learning experience design. Busy? Definitely. Bored? Never.
When I’m not designing, you’ll probably find me camping somewhere with my wife and two sons, sketchbook never far from reach.
Enough about me! I’m curious about your story. Tell us about your mission, and let’s explore how playful learning can help you make real impact.
Or simply contact us via e-mail or phone.
