What Our Players Say
“It helped me reflect and open up among others in a way I wouldn't have done otherwise”
-Game developer, Nordic game conference
“A very good tool for team engagement, the games make you open up easily and have fun while reflecting’’
-Olli, Co-founder, Psyon Games
“The Bingo game is an amazing tool for understanding what is working in our organisation and what needs improvement. Our participants genuinely enjoyed it and we walked away with detailed, actionable insights. Highly recommended"
— HR Professional, Pilot Client, Finland
Case Studies: Game-based Corporate Wellbeing
Case Study 1: Psyon Games
Case 2:Nordic Game
Participants came from different organizations and were meeting for the first time. Despite this, Nordaurai's games helped establish psychological safety quickly, and participants were open and fully engaged throughout the sessions. This showed that even among strangers, a well-designed gamified format can create trust and openness faster than traditional icebreakers or lectures. "Very good tools to start conversations and self reflection, especially in a group".
In this pilot session, Psyon Games ran a team engagement session with Nordaurai. With the Self-Compassion game, participants found real value in opening up to each other. With the Guess the Emotions game, the team identified who tends to feel a certain way under certain circumstances, insight that will help them navigate future situations as a team.
Our Story
Nordaurai was founded with the deep passion and vision of our founder, Angela Boyajian Adjounian, who spent years in the corporate world and saw how wellbeing trainings are passive and fail to reach everyone.
Finland, holder of the "Happiest Country in the World" title nine years in a row, caught her attention. What makes Finland different? That question took her to the University of Helsinki, where she conducted research on occupational wellbeing and validated her approach with businesses and organisations in Finland and the UAE.
The answer of her validation and study at the University of Helsinki became Playable wellbeing platform for your organization.
Nordaurai goes beyond gamification in corporate wellbeing. It's a real game grounded in positive psychology, where you play, earn points and rewards, reflect, and change your behaviour.
“If I hadn't been diagnosed with an anxiety disorder years ago, I wouldn't have experienced the power of positive psychology this deeply. Nordaurai is fully self-funded. This is what a young female founder's vision and self-confidence look like. This is not just my story. It is the story of every woman who trusted herself and executed with confidence. Nordaurai started with only a vision, and now people are playing our workplace wellbeing games. We are growing and I am grateful”.
