Dear Skool Gamers, If you’ve been following my professional journey lately, you might have noticed that I’ve been pulled in many exciting directions. Each new opportunity has been deeply fulfilling, but it’s also made it harder to give this community the time and attention it truly deserves. I take full responsibility for the dip in engagement, and I want to thank each and every one of you for your contributions, your energy, and your support along the way. With a heavy heart, I want to let you know that this community will soon be archived. I don’t have an exact date yet, it will depend on how things go, but I wanted to give you all a heads-up so no one is caught by surprise. There may be one more related announcement before the official closure, or I might share updates via email later on, so please keep an eye out in either case. Thank you again for being part of this journey. It’s been a genuine pleasure building this space with you. Rob - Profesor Game

Quick shoutout to @Blair Stevenson , founder of Brava, a performance leadership consultancy in New Zealand, and who’s soon to launch his Skool community after weeks of focused work together. What stood out for him in our sessions wasn’t flashy tactics: it was the small, intentional decisions that stacked up: - Clarifying the culture he wanted → then defining concrete actions to support it - Pressure-testing ideas instead of running with first instincts - Choosing Skool deliberately for simplicity and long-term leverage - Designing engagement on purpose, not by hope Blair came in thinking he’d already thought most things through. What unlocked progress was slowing down and working through a clear, structured process, not more tips. This is exactly the kind of work we do in our recently launched group coaching: thinking better before building more. If you’re building a Skool community and want that kind of clarity (and pushback when needed), you know you can find it on our Premium tier👇 https://www.skool.com/professor-game-4694/plans

Hey friends — here’s the big update I teased 👀 After years of teaching, using, and admiring the Octalysis Framework… I’ve officially joined The Octalysis Group as Head of Engagement Strategy in Europe! 🙌 This wasn’t a quick decision. It came after deep conversations, time with the full team, and realizing just how aligned we are in purpose and mission. The retreat in Dubai sealed the deal. But don’t worry — Professor Game stays independent. The podcast continues, free as ever, and focused on what it’s always been about: making gamification practical, ethical, and effective. I’m beyond excited — and super grateful to have this community here to share it with. 🙏 If you want to talk about how this might apply to what you’re building, just DM me “CHAT.” Let’s gooo 🚀

When Sarah Iverson shared her story on the Professor Game podcast, one moment stood out: She poured months of work into a gamified experience… only to see it flop. 💥 The design wasn’t the problem. The challenge? How she communicated it. 👉 Fast-forward: Sarah now blends puzzles, art, and storytelling into playful experiences that spark joy and help people set real, achievable goals. 💡 Her big takeaway (and mine): Creativity + Communication = Engagement. I’d love to hear from you 👇 What’s one time you “failed” not because of your work, but because of how you shared it?
