A simulation is an imitation of reality. We see what might happen in real life, without actually doing it. Simulations are great for teaching and training skills. By adding gamification elements, the effectiveness of simulations can be enhanced. By improving the simulation experience, users will remain motivated for longer periods and receive better training. Want to learn more about the different gamification techniques and how they improve simulations? Read all about it in this article. 📖

Over ons
We are specialized in serious games and want to bring about a positive change in the world through our work. Our studio is based in The Netherlands, but we work and think globally. We offer clients practical, result-focused solutions for serious problems. These include obesity in children (Garfield), peaks in water consumption (Wijk & Water Battle) and motivating children to do their rehabilitation exercises (Gryphon Rider). We want to make serious games accessible for everyone, so we sometimes come up with out-of-the-box solutions. Take the surgeons’ game Underground, where we developed affordable controllers and got them produced ourselves. And yes, it was stressful, and cost blood, sweat and tears, but when that box of controllers finally arrived and everything worked… man, that felt good! We offer our staff a place to develop, to work on something cool and meaningful and to get the best out of themselves. This produces motivated individuals, fanatics in their field. We invest in their creativity and professionalism through training courses, giving them the opportunity to develop their own ideas during working hours, and celebrating successes together.

We're opening our doors again during Weekend van de Wetenschap on October 5th! We'll keep you updated on all the activities we have planned for you. In the meantime, check out Weekend van de Wetenschap to learn more about discovering the world of science and technology. 🔬 🤖
Ontmoet de deelnemer 👋 Grendel Games ontving afgelopen jaar een hoop enthousiaste bezoekers die tijdens Weekend van de Wetenschap en kijkje kwamen nemen in de keuken. In hun studio, gevestigd in oude gevangenis De Blokhuispoort in Leeuwarden, konden bezoekers serious games uitproberen. Deze games ontwikkelt Grendel Games voor educatieve doeleinden, bijvoorbeeld om kennis bij te brengen over verduurzaming of voor chirurgen om hun vaardigheden mee te trainen. Door zo spelenderwijs te leren, blijft informatie beter hangen en wordt leren leuk om te doen. Dit jaar opent de studio weer voor publiek tijdens Weekend van de Wetenschap op 5 oktober. Bezoekers kunnen zelf de serious games van Grendel Games spelen of meer ontdekken over de ontwikkeling daarvan. Ook meedoen aan Weekend van de Wetenschap? Neem contact met ons op via [email protected]

We are excited to share the fantastic results from Greenhabit's recent 12-week program, powered by our gamified solution! 🎉 Greenhabit's AI-based treatment program, designed to influence individual lifestyle choices and improve quality of life, has led to incredible achievements. Greenhabit’s most recent client collectively walked a staggering 28,226 KM – that's nearly 20 million steps! 🚶♂️🚶♀️ Thanks to this incredible effort, they were able to donate a generous cheque to a deserving charity. We couldn't be prouder of the role our work at Grendel Games played in this journey. This success story is a testament to innovative, AI-driven interventions to stimulate healthier, happier lifestyles. 🌟

Today, we’re taking a look at our game Water Battle! We partnered with water company Vitens some time ago in making this game to tackle excessive water consumption. By challenging primary schools and neighbourhoods, we're helping spread water usage more evenly throughout the day, reducing energy strain on pumps. In the pilot, children from Leeuwarden helped whimsical water creatures while simultaneously helping residents to spread water usage more evenly. By letting children and their parents work together, multiple generations learn about sustainable consumption in a fun and exciting way.

We believe that our people are at the heart of what makes our games special. This week, we’re excited to put Thomas Jager in the spotlights! Thomas is our Operational Director and has been with us for 7 months. Thomas makes sure that all day-to-day activities run smoothly. He helps us plan, prioritize and make sure we’re able to do our job well. He makes sure all processes work well and improves them when necessary. Thomas also helps us find the right external partners to help with development when needed. Some of the things he enjoys are reading science fiction and working in Excel (what?!). Thomas also knows a lot about brewing the perfect cup of coffee. Game-wise, he like stealth games, such as the Hitman series and Metal Gear Solid. Drop a comment to say hi to Thomas! 👋
