Learning Games

I have worked on many learning oriented games and interactive projects with varied topics and technical implementations. Many projects were coproduced with different clients such as museums, broadcast channels, journalists, schools, film companies, architects etc.

The list of companies include Portaplay, DR, TV2, BBC, Red Barnet, SMK - National Gallery of Art, DONG, Kompan, Oceanariet, Forsorgsmuseet, Søren Robert Lund Architects, Post and Tele Museum, Borglum Kloster.

My tasks and roles in the projects differ, but here is an overview:

Game Design: developing and iterating on game mechanics, level design and puzzle design, visual scripting, script writing and editing as well as design documentation.

Visual Design: graphic design, illustrations, UI, video editing, story boarding

Quality Assurance: Internal as well as external testing with end users such as school classes and museum visitors.

Deadline Athen - Red Barnet

In this interactive project from 2016 you are a journalist who travels to Athen to investigate the story about refugee boys in Europe.

I helped design the structure, technical setup, editing and layout of the project.

You can find out more and play the experience on the Red Barnet (Save the Children) homepage HERE

Artmix - Faaborg Museum & SMK

In this interactive learning project from 2015 you can edit and remix old paintings and tell your own story.

I helped designing and testing the app. I also did graphics by recreating and reconstructing the layers in each painting, so you can move the images around without creating blank spaces.

You can find out more and play the experience from links on Faaborg Museums homepage HERE

Pythagoras Nøgle - Faaborg Museum

In this interactive learning project from 2015 you can explore the architecture in Faaborg Museum and solve mathematical and geometrical riddles by examining and looking for clues in the rooms.

I helped designing and testing the app and made the graphics. I created the intro reward movie, by recording myself slowly erasing the images and then reversing it, so it looks like the writing magically appears!

If you go to Faaborg museum you can download and play the app for free from HERE

Artist Studio Unlocked - BBC

Artist’s Studio Unlocked from 2016 allows the audience to look around the studio of the leading British artist Polly Morgan, allowing them to decide which objects to look at and in what order. The aim of the project is to allow BBC audiences greater access to an artist and their creative space. Polly Morgan is one of Britain’s most exciting artists – using taxidermy as her medium she creates animal sculptures that are beautiful and haunting.

I helped design, editing and setting up the interactive hyperlink part of this pilot project for the BBC Homepage.

Unfortunately the experience is not online anymore.

Project Iceworm - Planet 2030

An interactive learning app where you can explore the secret underground US military base which was built in Greenland back during the cold war.

I worked on prototyping game design, tech set up, editing and quality assurance.

Deadline Syrien - Red Barnet

This 2018 project is a follow up to the Award winning project Deadline Athens. In this new project you assume the role of a journalist travelling both to Denmark and Jordan to interview refugees from the Syrian Civil War.

I helped working on the technical framework, content pipeline and editing. I also went to Jordan on a research trip, for workshop and location scouting together with several journalists.

The project is live, and being played by Danish School children all over Denmark, and can be experienced for free HERE

TV2 Mediaview - TV2

For Portaplay I helped working on the web and mobile app called “TV 2 Mediaview”.

Here users can live-track their commercial and sponsor performance.

I worked on the graphics and quality assurance.
