From a board game to an online game...

Stand Tall was presented and tested at a workshop as a board game before it was developed into an online game. The participants came together to test different aspects on what is involved with living independently from budgeting, paying bills, saving money, organising events for friends and many other things.

Once the board game was finalised the online prototype of the game was developed and tested amongst the same participants. Watch the video to see more about the workshop.
