Roll the Dice on Self-Discovery!
Ever wondered if your game design instincts align with the greats? Perhaps you’re a mathematical mastermind like Reiner Knizia, or maybe you channel the wild creativity of Friedemann Friese without even realizing it!
Today, we’re thrilled to unveil our brand-new Board Game Designer Quiz – your chance to discover which legendary creator shares your design DNA. Whether you’re sketching your first prototype or you’ve published multiple titles, understanding your creative instincts can be a game-changer for your design journey.
Meet Your Designer Soul Twin
Our quiz analyzes your creative approach across multiple dimensions:
- How you balance mechanics and theme
- Your preference for complexity vs. accessibility
- Your approach to player interaction
- What aspects of game design light your creative fire
- How you handle strategy, luck, and decision-making
After a quick series of questions, you’ll discover your primary match, the renowned designer whose philosophy most closely mirrors your own. But that’s not all! We’ll also reveal your secondary influences, giving you a nuanced picture of your unique design fingerprint.
Why Knowing Your Design Style Matters
Understanding your natural tendencies as a designer isn’t just fun—it’s valuable insight that can help you:
- Recognize your strengths to leverage them in your designs
- Identify potential blind spots in your creative approach
- Discover new designers whose games might inspire you
- Connect with like-minded creators in the community
As Luis, our co-founder, discovered when taking the quiz: “Finding out I matched with Reiner Knizia AND Richard Garfield explained so much about why I’m drawn to certain mechanics. It’s given me a new lens to understand my own design decisions!”
What Will Your Results Reveal?
Are you a “Community Architect” like Jamey Stegmaier, crafting experiences that bring people together? Perhaps you’re a “Drama Director” like Eric Lang, creating games with rich narrative and emotional moments. Or maybe you’re “The Eccentric” like Friedemann Friese, pushing boundaries with experimental mechanics and unconventional themes.
