THE MAKER
A one-maker studio
from Sweden.
Maker of Games is run by Christian Ahlin: engineer, game designer, incurably curious. We build “stealth learning” games about topics that matter, together with researchers, journalists and human-rights organizations.
WHY WE MAKE GAMES
We like to understand complex things. We love sharing that understanding even more. The more people understand, the more we share power.
Games are the sharpest tool we know for that. They create shared experiences, deepen relationships, and let you live a system from the inside instead of reading about it. So we hide the learning inside the fun and aim it at the big stuff.
01
CURIOSITY
Understand the system before you judge it. Questions beat answers.
02
PLAY
Live it together at the table. What you play, you don’t forget.
03
RESPONSIBILITY
Understanding is a job half done. Then you act on it.
We claim curiosity, play and responsibility can solve most of our big problems. And we believe in people, in spite of the assholes.
