Divergence Game Kit

Divergence Game Kit is an innovative bilingual design thinking game toolkit that revolutionizes the learning experience of creative problem-solving methodologies through an engaging, card-based storytelling format. This comprehensive educational tool, which earned the Bronze A' Design Award in the Toys, Games and Hobby Products Design category, facilitates collaborative learning experiences through a structured 1.5-hour gameplay session designed for 3-6 players. The kit's sophisticated design approach combines bright-colored illustrations with calm backdrops, geometric linear forms with hand-drawn effects, and employs pure but exaggerated human figures to challenge users' conventional perspectives. Its gameplay mechanics unfold across multiple stages: players begin by exploring character cards that stimulate imagination and dialogue, proceed to develop strategic solutions for character-specific challenges, engage in preliminary pitch sessions with peer feedback, and culminate in refined solution presentations. The physical kit, measuring 154mm x 112mm x 50mm, is complemented by a downloadable digital version and supporting introduction videos, making it highly accessible for various learning environments. This design thinking tool particularly excels in its ability to compress complex learning processes into an engaging format that appeals to young professionals and educators, while maintaining a delicate balance between inspirational content and practical information delivery. The game's bilingual nature and focus on user-centric challenge-solving make it an invaluable resource for entry-level learners and creative teams seeking to master essential design thinking techniques through practical application.
