Hi all! Welcome to my talk:
But who am I on a more personal level.
But who am I on a more personal level. As soon as they were big enough to play games on a tablet, I was looking fror games that we both enjoyed playing in stead of only getting enjoyment from watching her play. That made me think and started talking to Menno about this en we decided to found lapp
Lapp is a game ideation, prototyping and user research company. We create innovative games that are further produced by our partners.
Access to tablet devices amongst children grows exponentially!
This is what actually happens:
Solitary play â isolated from surroundings
This is what parents want/expect:
Children playing together
The sedond pillar of Lapp is social interaction. When we design games we try to not focus on what is happening on the screen, but we use the screen to elicit social interactions between the players. Conversation starters
In the game rups we merged two types of gameplay that is attractive for both age groups. On the one hand cognitive skills for the parent: the parent has to figure out how to solve the puzzle together and the child is moving around the screen and needs to do pattern matching: caterpillar can eat leaves and a mouse can eat cheese. Backed up by playtesting with a broad age range, parents are able to transfer puzzle skills to the child according to de mental development of that child.
Story detectives is a 6 hour prototype. It shows how we work. We make a quick and ugly prototype and user test it immediately
In this game, children see the end of a comic. They need to interview their parents what might have happened to fireman sam. If they ask correctly the corresponding image is shown
This way, chidlren complete the story

Mirror star = karaoke for children with added special effects. Parents can edit the recording in an easy movie-editor and share it with family and friends
And we still face problems: Rups is quite different as one would expect while playing with a tablet. The gesture movements are not in line. Lekker is a super easy mechanic, but the concept of having the device being left on a position, needs explainig. Also the concept of a lobby system is hard for children. Extra technical checks would help but we arenât there yet. We want to minimize setup times.
Partners as Sesame street struggle with digital distribution. Pepsico loved the concept but want to have it proven.

Lastly, Lapp is good in designing non-conventional serious games. With a PhD in Games and Motivation, Dr. Menno Deenâs thesis is our guide for designing motivational games.
This is the early prototype of Yoganimals (working title) for a pharmaceutical company. Itâs a small daily yoga ritual in which children take their medicine. With it we hope to relax the child and create a positive experience around the therapy.
This is VilDu. A game that lowers the boundaries tot talk about sexual abuse. It is now used in therapy sessions. Vildugame.wordrpess.com. Coming Friday we find out if it wins a Dutch Game award. Iât has been co-developed with de Rading.
Last February I started working ath the Game Solutions lab. This doesnt mean Lapp is dead, not at all!
