In the game... 

We face a set of challenges and problems in a gamified narrative guiding us through our firsts experimentations at problem-solving applying a design thinking approach. 

To solve the task of designing a carriage we need to respond to the wishes of the royal family, but that's not enough...

The game is organized around a framework for building design thinking competences in primary school, developed by a consortium of researchers and practitioners in the field of education.  
The 5 phases of the game - Empathise, Define, Ideate, Prototype and Test - aim to address a different set of competences, and includes key competences suggested by the European Commission.
