From board game to life-size carpet
What if a game board could become life-size? For a client, we developed that idea into a playmat of 140 × 200 cm — a board game to walk, jump, and play on, instead of sitting around it.
The idea behind this project
This client had developed a board game but wanted to take it to a completely different level: a board game where children don't sit next to it, but can walk, jump, and crawl on it.
The starting point remained simple — the same game, the same rules, the same squares. Only the scale changed completely.
The client provided us with the complete game board as a digital file. We converted that file into a print-ready design and printed it on an exclusive playmat of 140 × 200 cm.
That size accommodates multiple children at once — ideal for classrooms, youth centers, childcare play areas, museums, schools, or just at home in the living room.
From board game to digital design
The client provided us with the game board as a ready-made digital file. Our task was to correctly scale and prepare that file for printing, so that every square, symbol, and illustration remains equally sharp and recognizable in large format.
Made for intensive play
A playmat with a board game on it isn't pulled out of the closet once a year — it's walked on, played on, and sat on daily. That's why we consciously choose durable materials.
High-quality polyamide
Thickness of ± 5 mm — sturdy, durable, and comfortable to play on, even with intensive use.
Anti-slip backing
A sturdy backing keeps the playmat securely in place, even when enthusiastically running across the game board.
OEKO-TEX Standard 100
Certified safe for children and pets — free from harmful substances.
Easy to take along
Thanks to the flexible material, you can easily roll up the playmat — handy for taking to school, youth groups, or other activities.
Close-ups of the project
A few detailed photos showing how sharp and detailed a board game can be printed on a playmat.
The result: the game to play on
The end result: a large board game on which an entire class or youth group can play simultaneously — life-size on the floor.
Because every design is custom-made, the client determines which game, which theme, or which illustrations will be on it — from an existing board game to a brand new concept.
