Six Years On: Reflecting on Game Science in Hybrid LearningĀ Spaces
Six years ago, in May 2020, Game Science in Hybrid Learning Spaces was published at a moment when education was beginning to confront profound change. What the book set out to do was not only to explore games and play, but to rethink how learning itself can be designed across spaces, contexts, and experiences. Looking back now, one of its most important contributions was not just hybrid learning as a concept, but the design considerations required to make hybrid learning meaningful.

Rediscovering Jon Bellion: Play, Process, and the Making ofĀ Meaning
I recently found myself returning to Jon Bellionās making of video for Guillotine. Not out of nostalgia, but out of curiosity. What does it mean to make something in a way that feels alive, emergent, and deeply human? Bellion is not one to follow a trend but speaks from his heart and creative core. What struck me this time was not the song itself, but the conditions under which this masterpiece came into being.

From FAiR to FAiR4All: A āGlocalā Journey of Playful, Frugal, and Community-Engaged EnvironmentalĀ Action
In August 2026, the Delia Derbyshire Building will host FAiR4All, a new exhibition under the GameChangers RemixPlay Summit Series (to be launched during the first week of August). Mark your calendars! Building on the success of the original FAiR (Frugal Artist-in-Residence) programme, this exhibition marks a significant step in translating a community-engaged, playful, and artāscience approach from Malaysia into a UK context.

From Play to Practice: Rethinking Project Management through PlayfulĀ Learning
As part of the ESRC-Funded RE:PLAY Project, we recently piloted a playful learning approach to project management within an engineering module at Coventry University. Working collaboratively with RE:PLAY Fellow Neil O'Shea and RE:PLAY Design Fellows Safaa Sindi and Tamar Maclellan, this session explored how hands-on, scenario-driven activities can support students in developing project management thinking in more engaging and applied ways.

Nine Years of RemixPlay: From Playful Provocation to LivingĀ Practice
This morning, my iPhone reminded me that nine years ago today, we were hosting our very first RemixPlay. A room alive with movement. People playing, laughing, debating, building, and discovering new ideas through hands-on experimentation with one another. It was not the specific edition that struck me. It was the journey. Looking back, RemixPlay has quietly mapped the evolution of how we think about play, research, and community over nearly a decade.

Ludic Design team at the ESRC IAA Showcase evening Oct 2025 As we come to the end of 2025, we are reflecting on a year that has been firmly grounded in community-engaged practice, care-centred research, and the continued development of playful and frugal design as a serious research methodology. This year, our work has not been defined by scale alone, but by depth of engagement.
