Agile Games
Use our range of interactive Agile games to help you get to grips with the key principles of Agile.
“Tell me and I forget. Teach me and I remember. Involve me and I learn.” With the words of Benjamin Franklin in mind, we want to share with you some of the Agile learning games we employ at Box UK to help explain the concepts at the heart of the approach.
Covering iterative development, planning processes and prioritisation, the games below communicate key information in an engaging and interactive way – making it more likely to stick. So have a play, and see what you can learn.
Our range of Agile games
Battleships
Understand the concepts behind iterative development – and the benefits it can offer over up-front planning – using the well-known game of battleships.

Retros Against Humanity
How can you make Agile project retrospectives an engaging and exciting exercise? Try our fun new format, which draws on the infamous party game Cards Against Humanity.

Sinking Ship
A ship full of famous faces has hit an iceberg, and only you can save them. But how do you choose who to rescue first? Find out with this game, and learn all about Agile prioritisation in the process.
