8D Games employs play to help people grow. From Virtual reality experiences to board and card games: we’ll find the right game style to fit any goal.
From warm-up games for new colleagues to creative brainstorm games that breathe new life into projects- we make everything playful. In doing so we inquire about ourselves, the world, and our partners. Why do we do things the way we do? Is it sensible? Stimulating and agitating is part of our DNA. Good for our products; maybe not so much for birthdays and lunch breaks.
We love sharing knowledge and building connections. Between science and practice, between old and young, between talents and the possibility to flourish. One part of this is our yearly crew of curious students, partners, and colleagues with whom we form lasting relations. Once you have worked with us you’ll forever be in our hearts!
Whatever the challenges, we make growth and development possible. Also internally. The trick is to provide exactly what someone needs to grow. For our end users, that may be a creative game – and for that one trainee, the opportunity to practise presenting while he or she finds it very exciting. This is how we keep challenging ourselves and our players.
“We werken samen aan power-ups voor de speler; een positieve verandering voor het leven. Dat geeft mij veel energie en zorgt ervoor dat ik na een werkdag met een goed gevoel naar huis ga.”

We are a motley collection of characters all with our own skill. That’s good, because it means we can make (almost) anything! From rock-solid software to board games, card games and teaching materials.
Over the past few years I have had the opportunity to participate in a number of Erasmus+ projects. For those unaware; projects under the Erasmus+ programme are aimed at solving…
In collaboration with educational partners from Romania, Cyprus, Estonia, and the Netherlands, 8D Games is working on the “Growth Game” – an innovative way to promote the growth mindset among primary school students. The game, inspired by the theory of renowned psychologist Carol Dweck, is expected to be launched in the spring of 2024.
The Center for Language and Speech Technology at Radboud University Nijmegen and the game company 8D Games collaborated to investigate the possibilities of speech technology within games that promote reading and speaking skills. During the project, the game concept and functional prototype DigiJuf was developed and tested at various stages with children in elementary schools.
Johan likes to think along!
