What we do
We are a Berlin studio for bespoke enterprise experiences: serious games, simulations, and the software that runs them.
Our deepest product is Deal IQ: sales enablement and MEDDPICC qualification inside a live simulation.
Beyond that, we deliver formats for knowledge management, compliance, onboarding, and on-site programmes in Berlin.

Adapting to your exact MEDDPICC
The variables standard tools omit.
MEDDPICC is where we start. For each client we add the dimensions their culture and system actually run on. For one manufacturing account we added Partners and Risk.

TransferDiscover how much of what you teach actually survives the next meeting.

Our method
Four months of detail is normal for us.
We are a design studio, not a slide factory. Every format is built for one measurable shift in behaviour.
01
Brief
Outcomes first. Who must behave differently on Monday, and how will we know.
02
Design
Mechanics, narrative, and facilitator tools. Often months of detail before the first cohort.
03
Run
Live session with debrief, written commitments, and manager-ready exports where relevant.
04
Measure
Behavioural signals, not slide completion. Deal IQ adds MEDDPICC heatmaps and qualification tiers.
For who
Built for the four people who get the call.
Different roles, different signal, same shape: a session that produces a written commitment by the time you leave it.
Sales enablement leaders
Reps practise MEDDPICC against an AI buyer who pushes back, before they touch a real account.
Managers see which deal stage their team avoids, not which slide they skipped.
A 90-minute Deal IQ session beats a six-hour roleplay every quarter.

FAQ
Six questions we get every week.
If you have a seventh, ask it on the discovery call. We answer them in writing first, so you have something to push back on.
What is Game Is Serious, in one paragraph?
A Berlin studio that designs serious games and simulations for sales enablement, L&D, and operations. Every format is a repeatable 90-minute session that ends with a written commitment, an anonymised manager summary, and a date on the calendar. Forty mechanics, three languages, sixty enterprise teams since 2016.
Are you only in Berlin?
We are headquartered in Berlin and run many programmes here. We also deliver remote and on-site across DACH, EU, and worldwide. The experience is the same; the language and timezone are not.
What do managers actually receive?
An anonymised cohort-level summary of debrief themes plus the concrete next steps the team committed to in writing. No individual quotes, no names. If you need a deeper assessment scope, we offer one. We do not default to it.
How many people fit in a session?
Treasure Office supports up to 200 players per session. AgileOps and Meteorite typically run with 9 to 27. Mirror and Deal IQ work best at 6 to 18. Larger cohorts use parallel sessions with a shared closing moment.
How is this measured?
We track session completion, debrief quality, and the strength of the team's written commitments. Reporting stays at cohort level unless you contract a deeper assessment. We never sell vanity metrics.
How do I try it without booking a call?
Sign up as a manager at gameisserious.com/manager/signup, set up a session in any format, share the code with your team, and run a pilot. No payment. Or use the "Talk to us" button at the top of this page to start a 15-minute discovery conversation before you commit.
