About Imagination Gaming

What are Imagination Gaming all about?

We focus on enjoyment and learning in equal measure!

Imagination Gaming offers solutions to engagement and learning in educational and social organisations – for all ages and abilities, focusing on enjoyment and learning in equal measure.

So whether you want to raise attainment in school, bring a community together or just put on a good show – we will get results. The best bit? It’s fun for everyone involved!

Changing Perceptions...

Founded in 2007, our goal is to continue to change the perception of games within the UK to one where they are seen and used as the great learning tools that they are! We want to see games used on a regular basis in schools and other organisations, as well as by families and groups, to bring people together and provide a stimulating mental challenge across all ages and abilities. Our results and testimonials speak for themselves.

Our History

Set up because of personal experience in the benefits they bring, we initially set out working in local schools through a network of contacts that identified with our ideals and messages. This has, over the last sixteen years, developed into working across the country in a range of sectors as the results of our ethos and methods have become more understood.

Our journey to date includes mainstream schools through to special educational needs establishments, into prisons, libraries and old peoples homes. Working with council run events, private institutions, holiday programmes, training days and a range of activities, events and workshops. Our growth over the years has allowed us to implement and run the highly popular Family Zone at the UK Games Expo – the largest event of it’s kind in the UK that continues to provide a first hand demonstration of the benefits of gaming alongside our own family & educational game awards (as judged by parents and teachers), that showcase the most suitable games to the wider audience they deserve.

Our Ethos

Our ethos is all about learning and challenging through fun and play. It’s about rising to the challenges that games bring and not shying away from the difficult decisions; learning that sometimes we lose and sometimes we win. It’s about learning to enjoy and relish the company of others over the course of a game, understanding and respecting their opinions and decisions and most importantly it’s about keeping on playing games well beyond your school years and enjoying them into your later years.

When working anywhere we always aim to be there early and be the last to leave. One of the biggest benefits of doing what we do is that it’s great fun for us! It’s hard work but we are rarely without a smile on our faces. No matter who comes to do the work, you will be greeted with a big smile, a bucket full of energy and a reassuring confidence that the activity or workshop will be a big success, no matter where we run it, or who it’s for.

All this is made easier as we love what we do, and it shows.
