A toolkit to create games, products, and services for human flourishing
Over the past decade, we have accumulated a vast body of knowledge that we are excited to share, so you can make your vision a success.
Creating solutions with real and lasting impact is no easy task. GEMH Lab has worked hard over the years to research and create playful video games for the benefit of young people's wellbeing.
We have found that science, design, industry, and stakeholders like teachers, students, clinicians all need to come together for a digital solution to be most effective.
Getting started with Bloombox
Step 1
Start with the people
We suggest you start by engaging with our Value Tensions tool to better understand your team and all the values you carry within. You might discover that you all feel the same about specific values or that there are valuable differences among your team members. Tensions may sound scary, but we encourage you not to perceive them as such. After all, ‘friction’ creates energy.
Values Tension
The Alt CV tool provides an alternative approach to understanding your team’s strengths, motivations and interests. Your team members may have skills or interests that would not become obvious during standard job interviews, but may very well be of great value to your project. The Alt CV is also simply a wonderful way of getting to know one another better. We highly recommend it for teams that are just starting off together.

Bloombox Canvas
Once you are ready to get going, our Bloombox Canvas is the perfect jumping-off point to construct your tech-for-good solution’s foundation.
Bloombox canvas helps to define your goals by defining Target, Proximal and Distal outcomes, and gain a solid evidence base with Techniques and Psychological Mechanisms.
The Canvas is meant to be iterated on throughout, and while many users start in the Canvas by defining their intended goals, the Canvas lends itself to any of its sections being filled out first and taking it from there. It will help you ensure that your ideas are backed by evidence, and appropriately translated to whatever context you are designing for.

Experimentation and refinement
Time to do research! The Bloombox hinges on interdisciplinary teams and on flexibility. We want to provide you as much space for open-mindedness and flexibility as is humanly possible within those constraints.
A non-linear approach to bringing your idea to life (as well as to life itself) will help you create something truly effective. As such, the willingness to iterate, revisit ideas, and adapt to insights from your target population all form crucial shells around the core of the Bloombox: evidence-based creation.
