Playing History

Playing History scores highly in all quality categories. They demonstrate their impact externally through their project selection and social engagement, and they stand for a sustainable work culture. With Friedrich Ebert as their theme, they have chosen a contemporary approach that sheds light on the origins of German democracy, which is currently a topic of debate.

The studio develops games with meaningful content in the context of socially relevant and inclusive topics. The talents of the future need a working environment like that of Playing History, which offers a hybrid office structure, protection from excessive workloads, a sustainable growth model with a focus on young talent, gender equality, and authenticity (through the involvement of affected groups).

By collaborating with foundations and museums, they not only generate educational value, but also act as innovation partners to appeal to a broader target audience. Despite less complex technology, their games are characterized by accessibility, high quality, and relevant content.

At a time when employees in the gaming industry fear for their livelihoods, they create security. Their atypical profile shows that the industry is changing and corporate culture is being redefined.

In addition to striving for sales figures, a change in corporate culture may also be necessary, as demonstrated by Playing History, in order to contribute to Germany as a gaming location.
