Join Dr. Chris Jeansonne—"gameful learning” expert from RPI* (New York)—for an unforgettable afternoon of play, reflection, and connection. Experience a shortened version of his soon to be published vampire-themed, semester-long course that reimagines how we teach and learn gamefully.

Through undead characters, historical event, and cinematic fragments, you'll explore the evolution of motion pictures—not as a student, but as an immortal. The game draws its lineage from legacy titles like Thousand-Year-Old Vampire by Tim Hutchings and 500-Year-Old Vampire by Jason Cox, reanimated here for higher education.

🧠 Learn-by-doing
🎲 Discover the game’s pedagogical design, delivery, and story
🔥 Wind down with a BBQ & drinks

This is more than a workshop—it's a live experiment in learning through play. Free for University of Exeter staff, students, and InnoPlay alumni & friends.

Spaces are limited — when you do signup, please make sure you are available for the full session as it is designed as an immersive experience.
