We founded Socialudo to use games to help diverse groups plan and think about how we future-proof society. We design, develop and deliver bespoke games to help organisations tackle hard problems.

Founders Professor Vikki McCall and Professor Alasdair Rutherford lead and direct ‘Socialudo’, a social enterprise set up to use serious play to help organisations with strategic and creative thinking, and embedding evidence into their practice. Alasdair and Vikki have more than 30 years of experience between them in research and taking forward important research-led recommendations that help bring people together to tackle challenges.
