Testimonials
"E-pizza game will help engage students and stakeholders in discussing and having conversations using something tangible and fun. By being playful, we all relax, making it easier to connect and reducing hierarchy. By using an analogy-game, we can imagine different alternatives. I would recommend using e-pizza to align multiple stakeholders towards a vision, or as part of an ideation session." Iria Lopez, Senior Design Consultant, Learning Design Agency, University of Leeds

"The e-pizza game is great fun way to drive inclusivity, creativity and engagement." Tony Morgan, Associate Professor in Innovation Management Practice, University of Leeds
