About

Naming a profession that already exists

Game facilitation is practiced in thousands of rooms every day. It simply hasn't had a home, a name, or a shared standard. We're building all three.

Our mission

To support the emergence of game facilitation as a recognized professional field — connecting facilitators, authors, schools, clients, events, research and certification through one global platform, community and standard.

What we believe

Six convictions behind the work

01
Play is serious work

Games are a rigorous method for learning, decision-making and change — not a gimmick or an icebreaker.

02
A field deserves standards

Shared ethics and craft are what make a profession trustworthy to clients and to itself.

03
Global and cross-cultural

The community spans languages, countries and contexts by default — not as an afterthought.

04
Built with members

Standards and direction are shaped by practitioners themselves — not handed down from above.

05
Honest about readiness

We say plainly what exists today and what is still forming. We don't promise what we haven't built.

06
Open and connected

Facilitators, authors, schools and researchers, linked in one interoperable ecosystem.

Where we are today

We're early — and that's the point

The association, the standards and the platform are all in formation. Nothing here is finished — and the founding circle is being assembled right now.

If you join early, you don't just sign up. You help decide what this profession becomes.
