Education
We create and run structured game-based learning programs using tabletop games and role-playing adventures.
Each program is intentionally designed to build problem-solving, communication, teamwork, confidence, and creative thinking while keeping play at the centre.
We deliver school holiday programmes, after-school clubs, and multi-session courses across Christchurch in partnership with a range of organisations.
We also design and facilitate tailored programmes for schools and libraries, or support staff to run their own game-based learning sessions.
Education-friendly pricing is available, with programmes shaped around your students and community goals.
Element Game Tables
Designed for meaningful play The Element Game Table is our own premium game table, created to support long, comfortable, and immersive play experiences at home.
It transitions from an elegant dining table to a dedicated gaming space, with removable panels, a stain-resistant play surface, adjustable LED lighting, and built-in USB charging.
Crafted for serious gamers, families, and hosts who want their table to be the centre of connection.
The next crowdfunding campaign launches mid-2026.
Other Services

Business Gamification
We design game-based experiences that help organisations tackle real business challenges, from staff training and team development to customer engagement and retention. Using structured game frameworks, we turn complex goals into interactive experiences that improve communication, sharpen decision-making, and strengthen culture.
Community & Venue Experiences
From immersive café and winery game experiences to facilitated workshops and public events, we create playful spaces that bring people together.
Games aren’t just something we sell. They’re tools we use to build stronger, more connected communities.

A little update from our shelves…
Over the past couple of weeks, restocks have been arriving steadily, so if you were chasing a game late last year that had sold out, there’s a good chance it’s now back in stock or arriving very soon. And if you’re looking for something specific and can’t see it online, feel free to get in touch and we’ll check for you.
Alongside the restocks, new titles are starting to land as well. Recent arrivals include Endeavor: Deep Sea, Fromage, Ham Helsing, and Magical Athlete, with more new releases expected to roll in over the next 2–4 weeks.
To make room for what’s coming, our online clearance section is still running, with hundreds of games discounted by 15–50%. If you enjoy a good browse or the occasional bargain, it’s well worth a look.

Today we wrapped up three days of NeuroQuest Adventures with 11 incredible kids.
They began shy and left with new friends, confidence, and the shared adventure of arriving in a village under siege. They first built themselves, then the world around them, surviving the mines and the trials of Pondai before defending the village from invading hoards.
Huge thanks to Nathan Campbell, who built the Minecraft world over two years, and Wilj, our neurodiverse teaching support. A big thank you to the Christchurch City Council for making this possible by funding the program, and to Stepping Stone Trust for providing such amazing facilities - right down to the epic gaming chairs!
Most of all, we celebrate the kids and families. It was great to have whānau engage and share the experience, making the space feel even more connected. The biggest shout-out goes to those young adventurers. It’s hard to capture the energy in a photo, but the engagement was magic. We’re so proud of what you achieved over the last 3 days!! 🧡🧡🧡 ...
