DEVELOPED WITH STUDENTS, FOR STUDENTS
We make games that give students the tools to draft their unique blueprint for success in higher education. Transitions are hard, and there's often no roadmap.
College can feel like a game. There’s rules of how to play but students do not always know them (like the Student Code of Conduct) or even those who are on the board to help them succeed (like their academic advisor and student success coach).
Success Prints Crash Course gives players the chance to practice how to ‘do college’ so that they do not feel like they have been ‘done in by college’.
It’s fun to play, lose, learn, play again and win!
WHO WE ARE
DR TRICIA SEIFERT
FOUNDER
Dr. Tricia Seifert is passionate about helping students thrive in higher education. She is co-author of the book, How College Affects Students (vol. 3) and has spent 20 years researching student success. Success Prints Crash Course is the culmination of that research.
Having talked with students who mentioned that it was only in moments of crisis that they learned of student support programs and services, she resolved to come up with a better way to share the vast resources that exist on college and university campuses.
She knew that this ‘better way’ didn’t include another lecture at orientation but an engaging, interactive way of learning. Enter the world of games.
Magic Sail Games gave life to the the initial ideas for a college success board game. Waylon Roberts (Sustainability Director) worked with Branson Faustini (Design Director) and Austin Boutin to achieve a game that is both fun and challenging.
Inspired by their own college experience, it is the perfect balance of wacky and real world.
