A Board Game About Time Tempos and Collaboration

Have you ever worked with someone whose sense of time felt completely different from yours? Time Tale is a collaborative board game that explores how people experience and value time in unique ways. It turns these invisible differences into something you can see, feel, and play together.

Set in the whimsical world of Time Town, players embody six characters inspired by everyday time behaviours: the Planner, the Punctual, the Spontaneous, the Flexible, the Multi-Tasker, and the Single-Tasker. Each has their own rhythm and abilities that shape how the team works together.

Through cooperative challenges, players must adapt and communicate to restore balance to a town that has fallen out of sync. Drawing on ideas of temporal perception and collaboration, Time Tale encourages empathy and reflection on how our different tempos influence the way we connect and move forward together.
