Case Study: Digital Catapult achieves a user-tested nature game prototype with Hive IT

Digital Catapult launches Web of Life Quest prototype in 9 weeks with Hive IT

Digital Catapult, a London-based deep tech innovation organization, sought to help SMEs tackle major UK challenges through its Design to Deliver programme. Their specific challenge was to develop a solution that helps citizens make nature-positive choices. Hive IT was selected as a design consultancy partner to guide an SME through the design thinking process.

Hive IT worked closely with SME Nature Nurture to develop the Web of Life Quest, an immersive sonic board game. Using design thinking and sprint techniques, Hive IT helped create a user-validated prototype that blended a physical trail with a digital Progressive Web App (PWA). The result was a co-designed, sound-rich game prototype that received positive feedback from community testers and successfully showcased the potential for nature-positive engagement.
