Gaminar

For facilitators, trainers and L&D teams

Learning games your participants will still be talking about next week.

Three team games — a sequence puzzle, the classic survival rankings, and picture cards — with facilitator guides, live scoreboards and debrief templates. Participants play on whatever is already in front of them: the phone in their pocket in the room, the laptop they are already on when it is a video call. Sign up free, rehearse as often as you like, pay only when real participants play.

Sessions with 1 or 2 participants are always free

100 free credits · Free for up to 2 participants · No card, no call, no subscription required

Why games

Slides get forgotten. A game gets retold.

Participants play first and reflect after. Visual, auditory and kinesthetic learners all get a way in, and the debrief turns what happened into what they will do differently.

Discovery, not delivery

Bite-size games that put a real team dynamic on the table — listening, trust, silo thinking, decisions under pressure — and let people discover it themselves before you name it.

Any room, any device

In person, hybrid or fully remote. Participants join with a link or a QR code on a phone, tablet or laptop — the games are built for a small screen and use the full width of a big one. You run the session from the facilitator screen and put the scoreboard on the big display.

Built around the facilitator

One screen to start the game, move between stages and rounds, and see which teams have finished. Facilitator guides and debrief templates for every game, free train-the-trainer sessions, and a community of Champions.

How it works

From sign-up to a live session, without a sales call

  1. 1

    Sign up — two minutes, no card

    Email and password, or Google or LinkedIn. You get 100 credits on the spot and every facilitator guide, tutorial video and debrief template in the catalogue.

  2. 2

    Pick a game and read the guide

    Each game has a facilitator guide with how to set the context, run it, and debrief. Watch the tutorial once and you know the flow.

  3. 3

    Rehearse it, free, as many times as you like

    Create a session, open the join link in two extra windows, and run the whole thing from the facilitator screen. Sessions with up to 2 participants never cost a credit.

  4. 4

    Go live with 20, 200 or 1,000

    Share the link, or the QR code for a room. Participants join on their own phone or laptop — in the room or remote — and you pay credits only for the people who actually play.

Rehearse until you're sure

The first time in front of twenty people is nerve-wracking. So practise with two, for free, until it isn't.

A practice session is the real game: the same facilitator screen, the same join link, the same scoreboard. Open the link in two more browser windows, join with test names, and run the whole thing start to finish. Do it twice. Then do it with your client.

  • Unlimited practice

    Any session with up to 2 participants is free, every time.

  • One screen, not a black box

    Start the game, move between stages and rounds, and see who has finished, from one facilitator screen.

  • A guide for every game

    Set the context, run it, debrief it — with what to do when something unexpected happens.

  • People who've done it

    Free train-the-trainer sessions with the Gaminar team, and Champions in 20 languages.

Pricing

You pay for the people who play.

A few dollars per participant who actually joins. No licence, no seats, no minimum — and practising is free.

Practising is free. Always.

A session with 1 or 2 participants never costs a credit — not the first time, not the fiftieth. We assume a group that small is you rehearsing, or showing a client what the game looks like, and we don't charge for that. Run the whole game from start to finish, break it, reset it, do it again tomorrow.

You also start with 100 free credits. Running the same game every month? A year of unlimited sessions is $275 to $475.

Facilitators on Gaminar

Run by trainers in 20 languages

I have been using Gaminar activities in almost all my virtual sessions. Pixtory is nice and short and brilliant for looking at all sorts of communication, teamwork and leadership skills, and the Survival exercises are fantastic for showing the power of synergy. I stopped using them in the classroom because they seemed old-fashioned and the adding up was laborious, but Gaminar have given them a whole new lease of life!

I've conducted Ocean Survival today. It was a great success. Especially I would like to mention the synergy points in the leaderboard. It's such a great idea for analysing the team result! Even better than the offline version.

Having already run a few Gaminars for my clients, I appreciate that this platform helps create immersive experiences for participants, generating powerful reactions, which prompt meaningful debriefs at the end. The versatility of different Gaminars means we can run either dedicated team building events or icebreakers as part of a larger event's agenda.

Playing Pixtory in the online environment made me recognise that it helps participants quickly relate with aspects of communication and learn the need to be fully present, listen carefully and actively, and explain concepts with a level of detail that requires real empathy for the receiver.
