The Game
IT ALL STARTS WITH
OUR OVERPOWER™
CREATIVE WORKSHOPS
Concept Capers is a quick play, round based card game. Each round is a new 'creative workshop', and your goal is to either be the last one standing, or finish the workshop with the most influential colleague.
Leverage the skills of your agency colleagues to out-ideate the other players. Succeed in winning five workshops and you'll have a solid creative direction ready to pitch to the client.
Challenge your friends for the chance to create that illustrious, award winning idea, but remember... not everyone can win a pencil! So fire up those fonts, mobilise your mood-boards and get creative!
Our process is legendary. Many have tried to imitate it. None have come close. Unlike other creative teams, we only present one idea. Our rockstar team spend a series of workshops on a problem, then the best idea wins. Its like hunger games for creatives, but everyone totally loves it.
Whether you're an aspiring entrepreneur, a seasoned marketer, or simply someone hungry to infuse creativity into every aspect of your life, our workshops are your launchpad. Uncover hidden potential and leave with a toolkit of fresh, game-changing ideas. Let's transform the ordinary into the extraordinary together.

Exposure
[ ik-spoh-zher ]
A fictional currency used to entice free work. Typically resulting in a high client expectation, and an excessive amount of amends.
(see ‘Consolidated Feedback’)
Ideation Workshop
[ ahy-dee-ey-shuhn wurk-shop ]
An opportunity for the wider team to share their personal, non-project related interests in a pseudo helpful environment that presents as relevant to the current job.
Platform
[ plat-fawrm ]
The creative platform is an idea. Usually a big idea, but not really the actual execution idea. It should influence your ideas, but ideally not be mentioned in the final output idea.
Moodboard
[ mood-bohrd ]
An aggregation of other peoples work, collated for the purpose of establishing the tone and direction of a new project. Care should be taken not to confuse them with your own ideas...
Subjectivity
[ sub-jek-tiv-i-tee ]
The natural state of most people’s creative feedback. Amends are typically phrased with preliminaries such as “I like...” or “My favourite...” and lack an understanding of larger project goals.
Scamp
[ skamp ]
When your creative director scribbles an illegible illustration on a hastily grabbed piece of paper. Usually presented with confidence and conviction but lacking context or common-sense.
Typeface
[ tahyp-feys ]
Is the name for a style or design that can be applied to your letters and words. Typefaces are to letters as clothes are to humans.
(similar to ‘Fonts’, but definitely not the same)
Mockup
[ mok-uhp ]
A visualisation of something that isn’t real, presented as if it were, in fact, real. Most mockups never actually get made.
Route
[ root ]
A single creative direction or executional idea, usually presented in groups of three. Clients will always pick the least harmonious parts of each route for combining.
Brand Guidelines
[ brand gahyd-lahyn ]
A redundant document that most people ignore, outlining how to correctly use the aspects of a brand. They are often not created in accordance to the rules they contain.
Sign-off
[ sahyn-awf ]
A fictional point in the project beyond which amends will not be made. It is often discussed, but largely un-enforced.
(see ‘Scope Creep’)
Viral
[ vahy-ruhl ]
An elusive state of digital euphoria where your marketing content spreads faster than internal agency gossip. Not to be confused with medical reasons for absence.
Minimalism
[ min-uh-muh-liz-uhm]
A design philosophy that makes you question the complexity of your existence while simultaneously convincing you that 'white space' is the key to true enlightenment.
Pitch
[ pich ]
A high-stakes theatrical performance where agencies compete for a client's heart, soul, & budget. Bonus points are awarded for elaborate displays of creative grandiosity that rarely reflect the project output.
Agency Culture
[ ey-juhn-see kuhl-cher ]
A delicate ecosystem of ping pong tables, bean bags and inspirational quotes designed to foster creativity, camaraderie, and a distraction from the sense of impending deadlines.
Creative Block
[ kree-ey-tiv blok ]
A moment of artistic amnesia where ideas play hide-and-seek in the labyrinth of the mind. It's like a mental desert, complete with mirages of brilliant ideas that vanish upon closer inspection.
Client Brief
[ klahy-uhnt breef ]
A cryptic document that outlines a client's hopes and dreams. It is both mystically vague and oddly specific and used to guide creatives with phrases like "Make it timeless, but also now".
