About
How, Who, Why
How It Began
Fairplay started life during the Big Bang of the 2020 pandemic with a mission to help people adapt to anything.
We are a team of learning designers, facilitators, researchers, content creators and strategists who share an origin story in the practice of improvisation. Collectively, we've found a better way to help individuals and teams learn how to adapt to change.
Like it or not, there's no script for life. (Actually, we kind of like it.)
