Rotunda
A family board game and the live game show that grew out of it. The goal for both: almost no rules to learn, and a whole room playing together.

Rotunda: The Board Game
A family party game built around games people already know. It takes familiar social formats, like reflex, memory and word association, and packages them into one structured board game, so there's almost no rulebook to read before the fun starts.
I playtested it over hundreds of sessions with different groups, tuning difficulty, pacing and scoring, and cut the strategies that broke the game.
Rotunda: The Game Show
I adapted the board game into a live-action game show. The rules became mini-games built for a watching audience: each one had to read clearly on camera and stay fun for the people watching, not only the players.
The show pulled me into videography, editing, set design and storyboarding.
