What do people say about our games?
“I had the pleasure of participating in Socialudo’s Serious Game in Southwark. The game was not only engaging but also deeply insightful, bringing together a diverse array of professionals working in housing, health, social care and the voluntary sector to tackle real-life challenges. The Serious Game is a powerful tool for anyone looking to strengthen the working relationships between these often-siloed sectors. Socialudo’s approach is a testament to the power of creative, interactive methods in addressing complex issues such as providing good quality housing for an ageing population.”

“The experience did allow us to really put ourselves in the shoes of others and helped us to understand more about the barriers and the challenges in building sustainable homes and community. ”
“Our recent Staff Away Day was a resounding success! Vikki and the Socialudo team helped us to design and deliver a great programme. Playing the Serious Game and creating a community together was a fantastic teambuilding exercise.
We had loads of fun, and some of our staff even displayed hidden acting talents they were that good! The experience did however allow us to really put ourselves in the shoes of others and helped us to understand more about the barriers and the challenges experienced by the policy makers, developers and members of the Hopetown community in building sustainable homes and community.
The experience could not have been more relevant to what we are all about as a small housing association delivering homes across our rural community. Would highly recommend, get serious and play Socialudo!”

“ One positive reason for engaging in the Hopetown game is knowing the discussions, feedback and learning from the event is collected and can be used to inform and influence policy at a local and national level. I would highly recommend anyone interested in learning more to attend and get involved in a Socialudo Hopetown event. “
“When the game started it was fast paced, teams had to communicate and negotiate with the other groups to progress work and understand resourcing. We would regularly find our group pulled in different directions, for examples when seeking resources and funding of policymakers, or the needs of community residents. I could see how the game draws out the realities the housing sector and communities can face and difficulties addressing these issues. It generated conversations about how we best support individual people with additional needs, stigma in communities, who is and is not benefitting from housing, and the demands and difficult decisions for policymakers. The game got people from all over housing sitting in one room, understanding roles and wider issues, which generated various perspectives, attitudes, and ideas. “
