Serious Games
We are a small, close-knit and innovative team that develops and facilitates impactful physical simulation games. These games connect people, provide new insights and help them to develop personally and as a team. They also give players lots of energy! And all of this is done while having lots of fun!
Playing works!
In our Serious Games, teams have to work together.
Under time pressure.
With dependencies.
With real consequences.
In our White Paper, we demonstrate the benefits of physical serious games.
Bedaux Serious Games
Bedaux Serious Games develops and facilitates physical simulation games for large and medium-sized organisations to strengthen talent development, collaboration, team building, creative problem solving and process thinking.
Engagement through Learning by Doing is central: participants and teams experience, experiment and improve – in a single session in which teams optimise strategies, processes, communication and collaboration.

Our philosophy
The philosophy of Bedaux Serious Games has historically been built up from different interrelated layers that complement, deepen and reinforce each other.
Charles
Eugène Bedaux
Human labour takes the form of processes. These can be mapped, measured, analysed and organised.
William Ewards Deming
In addition to processes, systems are essential. Reducing variation leads to better quality, lower costs and greater craftsmanship.
Taiichi Ohno
Eliminating non-value-adding activities leads to shorter lead times, fewer disruptions and less capital consumption.
Masaaki Imai
Spread the concepts of Kaizen and Gemba. Value is created on the shop floor by skilled workers who have valuable ideas.
Johan Huizinga
With Homo Ludens (1938), Johan Huizinga laid the cultural and philosophical foundation on which serious games were later built.

White Paper
Our white paper highlights physical serious games: their advantages, applications and challenges in leadership development and collaboration. The document provides an overview of concepts, practical examples and measurement methods to assess the effectiveness of these games.
Playing works! Physical serious games deliver – for comparable costs – significantly higher impact, better learning transfer, stronger collaboration and measurable improvements in the workplace. They are particularly worthwhile for: talent development, cultural change, team collaboration, crisis and stress resilience, and process simplification.
Physical serious games only have winners: players learn, gain energy and have fun, and organisations benefit from improved performance.
Our games are not simulations with correct answers, but carefully designed playing fields with clear rules. Within those rules, participants discover for themselves how processes work, where cooperation stalls or accelerates, and which choices matter.
When people play together according to clear rules, they gain insight into systems, behaviour and collaboration. Gaming is not a form of relaxation alongside work, but a serious way to understand and improve work.
