Consumer Psychology – An Adventure Game

An introduction to consumer psychology but not as you know it. We’ll play a game online where the stakes couldn’t be higher. The life of the human you’re controlling!

This course is now delivered online as a series of live sessions which fully meet the learning objectives of face-to-face training.

Research and insight adventurers need to understand people to help influence consumer choice. This introductory course will teach you the concepts from psychology that build to bring us a more complete view of a person. From classical theory to modern trends in neuroscience, behavioural science, and beyond.

This course will link together the methods you use in your work to the theories that underpin them, enabling you to have a broad and clear understanding of the psychological perspectives.

But how we get there is up to you! This learning is wrapped and delivered inside a game. Lead by your trainer you’ll be taken through a Choose Your Own Adventure style game for a sci-fy theme. As a team and individually you’ll be learning by guiding the actions of our protagonists in the hope that they’ll escape trouble and survive to be great consumers. We’ll solve puzzles, meet new characters, and learn about our theory through experience. This will feel new and different and hopefully more fun than a PowerPoint presentation.
