Abstract
Our booth will showcase several game prototypes made during the Serious Garnes Generalist continuing education program, given at the Arc Business School in Neuchâtel (HEG Arc), and in cooperation with the
training and consulting company "Entrée de Jeux".
The designers were participants with little or no prior knowledge in game design. The first part of the course
was dedicated to the discovery and analysis of several forms of serious games. lt aimed to give access to
key resources on the matter. The second part focused on deve loping a personal project: game design and
communication specialists coached the participants through the creation process.
The prototypes passed through test phases. Sorne of them entered the production phase: they take different
forms, such as tabletop games, role-playing games, escape games or treasure hunts. Their application fields
are related to mental health, watch industry, training, events, museography and tours.
The latest boardgame, produced by Entrée de Jeux, such as Loca l Beesness - agame that promotes "l'Abeille",
the loca l cu rrency of La Chaux-de-Fonds - can also be discovered on the booth.
