IKantKoan offers play-based coaching, consultation, workshops, and experiential design.
Project Consultation
IKantKoan brings game-systems thinking to individual and team-based projects seeking a generative boost.
Whether you are aiming to get radically unstuck, lay the collaborative foundation to take your work to the next level, begin a brand new project with clarity and purpose, or implement interactivity in your work, we’ll guide you and your team in playing through the process of playing to your strengths.
Workshops & Events
Play-based workshops and events build deep connections between players through surprising stories and delightful co-play. Unless otherwise specified, workshops are suited for teams and organizations of all sizes and are available both digitally and in person.
Play-Based Thinking
Games provide just the right constraints to empower players to explore fictional worlds. The same techniques can be applied to teams looking to explore uncharted territory in the real world.
-
Drawing from digital, tabletop, and role-playing game design, this workshop explores how game-systems thinking can bring clarity to your cohort.
Paradigm Shift for Lemons
This single-game, team bonding workshop dives deep into how teams and individuals build and break patterns of thought and communication over time.
-
Participants are guided on an introspective journey that fosters surprising paradigm shifts through unique, collaborative gameplay.
Armchair Philosophers
This multi-game workshop creates lasting bonds between team members as they engage in a series of philosophical games ranging from metaphysics (how do we know what’s going on right in front of us?) to Eudaimonia (how do we flourish long-term?). No formal knowledge of philosophy required.
Ritual and Role Playing
The team that plays together, stays together. This workshop guides participants in the creation of their own, personal role playing game that they can continue to play long after the workshop ends.
-
Role playing games invite players to deeply consider what kind of world they want to exist in and what roles they want to play in that world.
Custom Workshop
Looking to explore a particular idea or process with your team? We’d love to facilitate a workshop to meet that need! Previous workshops have focused on Futurism, Environmentalism, Bias Training, Creative Writing, Gamification, and Uncovering Core Values and Purpose.
Custom Immersive Experience
Looking to provide a highly memorable game or immersive experience for your team or event? We build custom interactive experiences on both large and intimate scales. Perfect for company events, durational gameplay, and mid-day play breaks.
