Resolve is an applied game design research group led by Dr. Scott Preston, Associate Professor in the Department of Culture and Media Studies at the University of New Brunswick. We design games that educate, inform, engage and change. We also work to promote awareness of and interest in tabletop games on campus and in our community. Board games, card games, and role-playing games are a rich and diverse medium with a long history of tackling serious topics, fostering shared experiences, and promoting social change. Our name refers to our determination to study how games work and apply this knowledge towards finding answers to problems, helping change the world around us.
Launched in 2021, Resolve is made up of UNB students working alongside Dr. Preston. We collaborate with internal (UNB) and external (greater Fredericton community) partners on applied game design projects. These projects provide research and employment opportunities and internships for current UNB undergraduate and graduate students. Most of our student members have also taken classes in game design offered by the Faculty of Arts' Media Arts & Cultures program. You can find us in Marshall d'Avray Hall room 239.
