Unique Properties: Divergence is a bilingual game kit to provide fun and easy way for entry-level learners and creative teams to pick up the process via an interactive, storytelling focused gameplay of about 1.5 hours, guiding players to collaborate and compete to solve a user-centric challenge by practicing essential techniques. The game kit was created as card-based design available in physical and downloadable versions, along with supporting introduction videos.
Dimensions & Packaging: 154mm (w) x 112mm (d) x 50mm (h)

Design Challenge: Divergence is a card-based storytelling game for 3-6 players to practice quick ideation techniques. The design language uses juxtaposing visual elements to spark players’ imagination and conversation – eg contrast bright-coloured illustrations set on a calm backdrop; pair geometric, linear forms with hand-drawn effects; use pure but exaggerated human figures to challenge user’s usual perspectives.
Inspiration: IDK wanted a gamified toolkit and goodies designed for young adults and educators to learn key design thinking skills quickly, or run short facilitated workshops, normally taking hours. The toolkit should appeal to young, professional audience in its gameplay, content, and graphic design, and should encourage creative brainstorming with peers by providing a balance of inspiration and information.
Project Duration: The project started in January 2021 and launched online in January 2022.
Operation Flow: First, players will be inspired by a set of beautifully illustrated deck of character cards that evoke imagination and conversations. Players will craft a narrative for their character through dialogue as a group. In the second stage, players will use the next set of cards to come up with strategies and innovative ideas to solve the character’s problems. In the third stage, players will pre-pitch their idea to other players and receive points and feedbacks. In the final round, players will refine and present their best solution to the group.
