Free trial session
Free trial session: Minecraft adventure or Roblox Studio game design
Online on Saturdays, in a small group with a trained adult. Your gamer tries a club before your family has to decide anything.
What happens in a trial session?
A trial session offers a taste of what our regular clubs are like. Your gamer will join "Sogverse", our own private online platform, and depending on the theme you choose, will either go on an adventure in Minecraft or publish a game in Roblox Studio. The session is led by a "Gedu" (our trained gaming educator), who will be present from start to finish.
In the Minecraft session, participants will go on adventures, build, solve puzzles, and get to know one another. In the Roblox Studio session, we will learn how to create a game and then publish it.
Parents are welcome to join at the end, at which point we’ll share details about the clubs we offer and how to sign up. If you decide not to continue, that’s perfectly fine. The trial session comes with no obligations!
P.S. Every gamer's parent will receive a surprise that’s actually worth money ! ;)
Why try School of Gaming's activities?

Every Gedu is a trained expert in game-based education. Their backgrounds have been vetted, and they are professionals in digital youth work. A Gedu is present throughout the entire trial session and is also available to answer questions from parents at the end.
Only the group gets in
The voice room opens five minutes before the start and closes five minutes after the end. Only the group, its gedu and our staff can enter.

Chat belongs to the whole group, and the gedu sees everything written in it.
