Following the success of rural initiatives hosted by Strathcarron Hospice, the Glasgow School of Art with NHS is hosting a specialised showcase at the Reid Building. This event brings the “Serious Games” project into a central urban hub, providing a unique opportunity for NHS leadership, practitioners, and the public to engage with innovative tools designed to navigate bereavement and end-of-life care.

Featured Highlights:

• Powers, Puzzles and Prescience Escape Room: An immersive narrative experience developed by Good Life, Good Death, Good Grief.
• Student-Led Prototypes: High-level projects from GSA’s Innovation and Technology programmes that use game mechanics to facilitate difficult conversations.
• NHS-Developed Tools: Practical, evidence-based games currently being trialled within healthcare settings to improve “Grief Culture.”

The showcase will also feature prototypes created as part of the Undergraduate Serious Games Elective Games (Analogue), the Post Graduate Serious Games (Digital), and proposed MSc Projects from 2026 in Digital & VR Research.

These prototyped and in-progress concepts explore the intersection of technology, social enterprise, and community wellbeing.
