How do you get people in the mood to collaborate?

In 2023, Boho collaborated with Population Health Exchange (PHXchange) from ANU’s College of Health and Medicine to create a game that explores the relationship between researchers and research-users. Found in Translation is a fast-paced 80-minute game where two teams must navigate a range of challenges to work together and successfully run a restaurant.

Aligning with PHXchange’s goal of rethinking the space between researchers and policy-makers, but suitable for any collaboration, Found in Translation offers a broken system that can only be fixed by changing the rules of the game. Players must invent ways to communicate and strategise to save the restaurant.

Appropriate for researchers and research-users, conferences and schools, multiple departments of an organisation, or a team at the beginning of a new project.

Found in Translation is also the subject of an ongoing research process, measuring the impact of games. For more information, visit the PHXchange website.

Our team at CATSINaM had an unforgettable experience participating in BOHO Interactive's "Found in Translation" workshop.

Our team was presented with a broken system, requiring us to rethink and reconfigure the rules. The parallels drawn between the game and our everyday professional experiences profoundly impacted us. CATSINaM firmly believes that this workshop is not just an excellent tool for academic and professional contexts, but a practical solution for fostering collaboration across multiple departments within an organisation, or even for kick-starting new projects.

Our experience was nothing short of exceptional and has left a lasting impression on our team’s approach to collaborative work.
