IKantKoan Play/s is an award-winning immersive experience and game studio dedicated to crafting surprising games for gutsy people. IKantKoan’s work translates real world experiences to playful, pro-social encounters with strong narrative elements.
We make public-facing and client-specific work incorporating live events, tabletop games, digital games, mobile apps, and fantastical hybrids. Responses to our work often sound like “I’m not sure what just happened to me, but I want to do it again.”
IKantKoan has been feated by The World Economic Forum, Games for Change, SXSW, Beyond Opera (Helsinki), Tanween Creativity Festival (Ithra), UPENN's Environmental Storytelling and Virtual Reality Summit (Philadelphia), and on NPR, among many others.
