The category

GameFacilitators.org is a global professional platform for game facilitators, transformational practitioners, business game hosts, educational designers, team-building facilitators, serious-games specialists and authors of facilitation-based games.

Our goal is to support the emergence of game facilitation as a recognized professional field — through community, standards, certification, research, events, marketplace tools and AI-powered infrastructure.

Why now

A growing field, still fragmented

Game-based facilitation is growing fast — across personal development, education, corporate learning, leadership, HR, therapy-adjacent practice and community work.

Yet the field remains scattered. There is no single global infrastructure that connects facilitators, authors, schools, clients, events, research and certification.

GameFacilitators.org is being created to close that gap.

The framework is currently being designed. Founding members are invited to help define the standards of the profession — nothing here is a finished credential yet, and the site will not pretend otherwise.
