Keep•It•Human video-game LAB

Our lab prototypes Free-to-play games, connected to NGOs and crowdfunding proxies. We start with cardboard prototypes and implement early play-tests with University Students and partner NGOs to shape the user experience.

Timbi World (2020-21) - POC for ASPECT Success Accelerator 2020

Our first multiplayer video-game MVP was in support for Maputo Skate, an NGO established in Khongolote, Maputo. Their edu-skating programme keeps young people away from gang culture, drugs, alcohol and crime in Mozambique.

  • Timbi World provided this NGOs with a new space in the digital, to renew their donors' age, facilitating a new generation of people with the ownership of social challenges through videogaming.
  • Virtual-to-Real: Players earned rhythmic energy to unlock assets; i.e. virtual skateboards, helping us to send real skateboards to Africa. Proxies paid on behalf of young people via our GoFundme campaign
Studio: Keep•It•Human in  partnership with Manusamo&Bzika.

Current projects and social-tools prototyping

Mangrove.World (2022)

Current status: POC completed (Feb-May 2022)
Ready to save your local village by restoring Mangroves in saline waters? Yes, Mangrove trees project people from ferocious storms and provide a rich ecosystem for fisher people to do their job. But... hurry up before the typhoon is back and be cautions, Mangroves do not grow everywhere and need to be planted during the right lunar cycle! Plant a digital twin and we will figure out again how to make it real.
