MicroGame Stories
Short visual stories that link basic knowledge to recognisable work situations. People practise with short game mechanisms, make choices and get immediate feedback.

Activate your team and challenge them to explore the future.
Preludens uses storytelling and game-based learning to challenge teams, activate them and let them explore new situations. That is how intrinsic motivation grows and essential knowledge is better understood, applied and embedded.

Online focus
Interactive stories that challenge, activate and motivate teams
At Preludens we believe online learning only works when people become actively engaged. That is why we design interactive learning experiences that connect to practice: visually built, recognisable and focused on knowledge people truly need to apply.
Storytelling gives context and meaning. MicroGames create choices, repetition and immediate feedback. Data shows where participants get stuck and where improvement is possible. So online learning is no longer a click-through obligation, but a focused experience in which teams practise, discover and grow.
So learning is no longer an obligation, but an inspiring journey.
- Engagement Grow intrinsic motivation so people want to practise instead of click through.
- Knowledge retention Strengthen insight through repetition, context and choices that stick better.
- Safe practice space Create room to explore, make mistakes and act more strongly in practice.

Take the first step tomorrow
In a GameStorm we explore your learning challenge together. In one half-day we bring the audience, context and key learning goals into sharp focus. Then we translate those insights into a first storyline, fitting choices and short game mechanisms.
You leave with a clear concept and a concrete direction for your learning experience. Even without a follow-up project, the session gives valuable footing for better e-learning, training or knowledge transfer.
Proven in practice
From challenge to playable learning experience
From nautical supervision to the energy transition: every project starts with a challenge that asks for movement. That is why Preludens offers an end-to-end approach to game-based learning: from first exploration to implementation in your own learning environment.

Experiences from practice
Daan helped us turn a static design tool into a game that challenges players on every aspect of their choices. His work made sure every step was set out logically — for a broad audience of professionals and students — in a beautiful card game.

Play is older than culture, for culture, however inadequately defined, always presupposes human society, and animals have not waited for man to teach them their playing.Johan Huizinga — Homo Ludens (1938)
