PlayInsight Studios GmbH was officially founded on 7 July 2025. The idea began much earlier: Joel moved to Thuringia and saw the region’s potential for a game studio. The GameDev & XR Meetup Thüringen developed alongside it, laying the foundations for a network and the first connections.
Joel brought former fellow students into the team who had already worked on indie games as a hobby. The original group of six combined game design, technical expertise and educational knowledge. Their shared vision was to use games for education, training and digital innovation.
In May 2024, the Thuringian start-up grant helped us decide to pursue the project. Funding was approved in the autumn. Since then, our first client projects, game jams, a growing network and experience in founding and marketing a business have shaped the studio.
“Insightful Play, Heartfelt Creations”: we connect education, game design and technology. We develop interactive learning experiences that share knowledge through play, encourage motivation and bring people together.
We want a future in which learning excites, inspires and connects people. Through play, technology and creative design, we rethink education. We believe lasting learning happens when knowledge becomes an experience and people take an active part.
We aim to create experiences that encourage motivation, develop skills and have a lasting impact. Learning can be an opportunity: something enjoyable, something that sparks curiosity and stays with you.
