My name's Jon Gracey. Here I am!

I love games. They bring people together. The rules and structure of a good game - rules are fun, ok??? - allow us to express who we really are, revealing unexpected parts of us, things sometimes even we didn’t know were in there.

That time your shy, introverted friend surprised you by being the best liar in the world in Werewolf? Or your Mum turns out to be Capitalist maniac, crushing all who dare oppose her? Those are the kinds of stories games encourage, and I love them.

I write about games and have designed loads of live, immersive game things like escape rooms, game festivals, a megagame and I run the best live experience of Werewolf you'll ever play. I do Blood On The Clocktower as a live show too!

I’ve worked with companies like Google, Memrise, Kimberley Clarke, and Corkscrew, running corporate team building events from London to Perth.

I've also written dumb songs with musical comedian Jay Foreman, as well as a YouTube series about politics called Politics Unboringed that has millions of views.

I’ve written a couple of plays, one a very dumb courtroom drama “Delightfully silly - *****”, one a tense pot-boiler about two strangers trying to split a million pounds. We did that one live on Twitch because there was a small global pandemic going on at the time. (Edit: Later we brought that to the fringe too)

I also host a podcast about vomit stories, because...you know what, it's called The Vomitorium and you can find it here.

I make bespoke games for weddings, birthdays, stag dos. Anything personal and interesting that you want injected with the magic of games, get in touch.

Jon
