Tools and Templates

The seriously fun way to do work — seriously!
HomeHome → Resources → Tools and Templates

We hope that you find these tools and templates helpful in making the most of Innovation Games®.

Looking for a template or a tool that we don’t have? Send us an email and let us know what you need.

Planning Tools

  • Planning Template A template we’ve found helpful in planning games. If you hire us to work with you, chances are good we’ll be walking you through this!
  • Budget Template A very useful budget template to help you in planning the total costs of in-person and online games.
  • Supply Checklists You’ll want to leverage these checklists when planning for your games.
  • One Page Games Overview A simple, one page overview of the games that you can print and share.

Invitation Letters

Writing a good invitation letter is a bit of an art. You need to provide the facts, of course, but you also want to capture the energy and excitement of the games. Sometimes, you’ll reference the games directly. Many times, you won’t. Either approach is OK.

  • Aladdin ADAB Letter Aladdin Knowledge Systems kindly gave us permission to share this invitation letter from their DRM (Digital Rights Management) Advisory Board meeting.

Game-Specific Supplies and Resources

  • Observer Cards Insert these cards into the stack of blank 5×8 cards you hand to your Observers. They’ll enjoy the surprise and you’ll enjoy the improved results.
  • Speed Boat boat A nice boat that you can use in your Speed Boat games.
  • Speed Boat Cards Pre-formatted, 5″x8″ cards for Speed Boat. Includes anchor, propeller and life preserver cards.
  • Buy a Feature Money  Purchase Monoply® money. If that link doesn’t work, you can always try the official Monopoly web site.
  • Game of Life® money — the denominations are MUCH bigger than Monopoly® money — can be found here.
  • Spider Web Paper  We like HP Bright White Large Format Printer paper. It’s sturdy, strong, and markers don’t easily bleed through the paper. It also works great for covering tables when playing Product Box. You can purchase through LOTS of online office supply stores or HP.
  • Start Your Day Visio worksheets This is a set of very general calendars that you can tailor to your needs. Make sure you print them on a large format printer!
  • Hi-Res Prune the Product Tree Here is a high-resolution copy of our one of our favorite trees suitable for poster printing. We’ve used in a LOT of in-person games. And it is a tree that is available for everyone to use in the online games.
