Shift Happens // 2013-2017

The Legends of Andor – The King’s Secret

“Legends of Andor” is an award-winning cooperative board game for 2–4 heroes.

Sensors Alive // Monster Maker

Sensors Alive ('Monster Maker' in Germany) is a companion game to the KOSMOS science kit of the same name. The core of the science kit are three sensors which can be used to feed real-world data that kids can collect from their environment to the app to generate a diverse array of creatures. They then can take care of, collect and play with their creatures and even get 3D data of their favorite creatures to have them 3D printed.

Steampumpkins is a location-based artillery game in which players around the world battle each other by slinging different fruits and vegetables. They can grow and harvest their ammunition in their own virtual garden and upgrade their catapult to gain the upper hand. It's a work-for-hire project for United Soft Media as part of the KOSMOS group.
