Plot Twist

hybrid board game design

Plot Twist addresses the complex economic and social challenges faced by today’s young adults, which increasingly place a significant mental burden on the individual. This hybrid board game uses gamification to explore the difficulties of adulthood, burnout, and the housing crisis. Covering eight areas of life, players must acquire property, achieve personal goals, and keep their Trauma Points—representing mental well-being—below a critical level. The “Burnout” and “Psychologist” fields introduce reflective prompts that ease tension through sharp, socially critical humor. The project highlights hybrid design thinking and examines how a game can function as a medium for dialogue around mental health.
