What’s it about?

You will join the game and become the playing piece throughout the game with the object of the game to gather enough resources and money to acquire a key to a property.

DALI games have been created to increase peoples awareness of data literacy. You will experience DALI Life, a boardgame that will help you explore data and their impact in your daily life.

Cardia, developed by colleagues from Manchester Metropolitan University, aims to explore wearables for influencing gameplay. You will jump on the spot and escape from slime monsters.
