Ever wondered how we create our engaging educational board games at Sweetgms? Join us for an insider's look at our game creation process, from concept to production, right here in our vibrant Spanish office.

The Spark of an Idea

Every great game starts with a spark of inspiration. Our team of educators and game designers constantly brainstorm new ways to make learning fun and interactive. We draw inspiration from current educational trends, feedback from teachers and parents, and the ever-curious minds of children.

Research and Development

Once we have a concept, our R&D team dives deep into research. We consult with educational experts, study curriculum standards, and explore innovative teaching methodologies. This ensures that our games not only entertain but also provide real educational value.

Prototyping and Playtesting

The excitement really builds as we move into the prototyping phase. Our designers create early versions of the game using simple materials. Then comes the fun part – playtesting! We invite children, parents, and educators to try out our games and provide feedback. This iterative process helps us refine the gameplay, ensuring it's both educational and enjoyable.

Art and Design

With the core mechanics nailed down, our talented artists bring the game to life visually. They create colorful, engaging artwork that not only looks great but also enhances the learning experience. From character designs to board layouts, every visual element is carefully crafted to appeal to our young players.
