The Good Ventures
In a world on the brink of collapse, you and your fellow changemakers are founding companies that put people and the planet first. Welcome to The Good Ventures, the business game where your ideas tackle global problems and shape sustainable futures.
You’ll build visionary companies that serve real audiences while tackling global problems. Together, you can address the planetary crisis. But only one of you will become the top Regenerative Entrepreneur.
Let the pitching begin!
Your mission is to co-create a business ecosystem that solves the selected Global Problem. Each player builds companies by assembling cards from various decks. The game ends as soon as there is one completed company for each required Field on the Global Problem. The player with the most points at the end of the game wins. The challenge is competitive, but every company contributes to solving the Global Problem; just like in real life, the ecosystem grows through both cooperation and rivalry.
We are currently doing playtests of the game with selected universities. The lucky few include the Wroclaw University of Economics and Business, the Technical University of Ostrava, and the University of Economics in Katowice, with a few more on the horizon. Last year we also did the first playtest of the game in Polish at the Climate Education Conference in Krakow, and since then we’ve had several chances to play the game during various training activities of our beloved partner, Nausika Foundation. Hundreds of playtests since early 2025, when the game was first conceived, have helped us fine tune the mechanics of The Good Ventures to where it is today.
Curious about the future of the game? The Good Ventures is expected to be released as a commercial product towards the end of 2026! Our ongoing collaborations with universities will also lead to enjoying the game in extracurricular activities of universities in Europe and beyond, as well as gameplays in various conferences and university classes. Beyond that, you can of course count on workshops, events and consulting offers directly by the Gamification Global team!

Eager to collaborate with us?
The Good Ventures is a game designed by the Gamification Global team! It’s a game in which you learn how to build a purpose-driven business. Stay tuned to find out more about our flagship product! The game will be released both as a commercial product for those of you who prefer to play with a premium quality game, as well as as a free print-and-play downloadable that you can print at home. The latter will be released under a Creative Commons license, and is a way for us to honour the people who inspired us to create the game in the first place, as well as a means to achieve our vision of making the world a better place through our game, and of course to be a genuine regenerative and distributive company, like the ones we hope our game will inspire!
