Design Outlook 2025

Workshop

Communicating Complexity Through Gamification

Sixto Tantiongco and City of Melbourne’s Data Experience team will demonstrate how gamification fosters learning and engagement, equipping participants with tools to explain systems, processes and data through interactive storytelling. Expect to leave inspired, energised and thinking in new ways!

This workshop explores how playful design and gamification can make complex ideas more engaging for your audiences. Over the course of three hours, participants will collaborate, brainstorm, and build a simple game, bringing ideas to life in a fast-paced, hands-on environment Whether you're jamming on new concepts or refining existing ones, this is a space to push boundaries and explore fresh ways to make products that resonate with a diverse audience. 

At the heart of the session is creation—expect to make something tangible. Perhaps it’s a card game, a board game, or even a high-energy round of charades, tailored to spark conversation and innovation. 

The goal isn’t perfection—it’s experimentation, fun, and maybe even a little chaos. By the time you step out, your brain will be buzzing, your perspectives challenged, and your creativity shaken up. 

Expect to leave inspired, energised, and thinking in new ways!
