Games
Game Development for Education
Curriculum-aligned, accessible, and built to engage learners. We create educational games for universities, publishers, and schools. Our team has delivered for Cambridge University Press, the BBC, and the Museum of London.
Why Off-the-Shelf Educational Games Fall Short
Most educational games are built for the consumer market, not for institutions. They lack curriculum alignment, ignore accessibility standards, cannot integrate with your LMS, and offer no control over branding or data. Your learners deserve purpose-built experiences designed around your pedagogy - not repurposed entertainment products with an educational label. We build games from the ground up for institutional requirements: GDPR/COPPA compliance, multi-language support, school-friendly hardware targets, and measurable learning outcomes.

Built for Institutional Requirements
Curriculum-Aligned Design
Your learners stay on-syllabus. Every game mechanic ties directly to your learning objectives, so classroom time spent playing is classroom time spent learning.
GDPR & COPPA Compliance
Your institution stays compliant. Every title we deliver meets GDPR-K and COPPA requirements out of the box - no retrofitting, no risk to your data policies.
Multi-Language Support
Your content reaches every learner. We architect for internationalisation from day one - right-to-left scripts, CJK character sets, and full localisation pipelines included.
Runs on Your Existing Hardware
No hardware upgrades required. Games are optimised for the devices your institution already owns - Chromebooks, budget tablets, iPads, and interactive whiteboards.
Connects to Your LMS
Your teachers get actionable data. Progress, scores, and completion feed directly into your existing Learning Management System - no manual reporting.
Inclusive by Default
Every learner can participate. Colour-blind modes, screen reader support, adjustable text, and motor accessibility are built in - not bolted on after launch.
How It Works for Institutions
Curriculum & Learning Design Workshop
We sit down with your pedagogical team to map learning objectives, target age groups, and assessment criteria. The output is a game design document aligned to your syllabus.
Prototype & Pedagogy Validation
We build a playable prototype and test it with a small learner group. Feedback from students and teachers shapes the core loop before full production begins.
Development & Accessibility Testing
Full production in Unity or HTML5, with ongoing accessibility audits (WCAG 2.1), device testing on school hardware, and GDPR compliance checks throughout.
Deployment & LMS Integration
We handle app store submission, web hosting, or MDM distribution. Progress data feeds into your Learning Management System via xAPI or SCORM so teachers get actionable analytics from day one.

Discuss Your Educational Project“David is very patient and has great communication. He understood our project goals from the beginning and worked with us diligently throughout our slow-burn design process. I am pleased that we chose David to develop version 2.0 of our Vocab Builder.”
