Sticks & Strings is a 3D puzzle game inspired by obstacle courses, designed for both solo and cooperative play. Rather than guiding players toward a single “correct” answer, the game encourages them to experiment, improvise, and discover their own unique solutions.
At its core, the project aims to go beyond entertainment. It was designed as a playful tool to foster children’s creativity, resilience, and confidence in their problem-solving abilities. Each puzzle begins with a challenge that may appear daunting, but through trial and error, players learn to navigate obstacles, adapt their approach, and celebrate the process of finding solutions.
By turning complex tasks into approachable experiments, Sticks & Strings helps children build the foundations of a resilient mindset—skills they can apply well beyond the game world.
As its name suggests, the game centres on the versatile use of sticks and strings. These simple elements can be combined in countless imaginative ways, encouraging open-ended exploration, teamwork, and playful creativity. Every solution is different—just like every player.
