We make the people you\u2019re playing with more entertaining.\u201d&nbsp;<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cDo you want to play again?\u201d This is the only question Elan Lee asks when playtesting his games. Millions of people have answered yes, which explains why the Exploding Kittens games have dominated the best seller lists for almost a decade. Elan has now set his sights on conquering the world of entertainment beyond board games, starting with a namesake animated Netflix show.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Elan Lee was the very first guest on REPOD, way back on Season 1, Episode 1. Then, he shared his philosophy on game design and all the cool projects he\u2019s worked on. In this follow up episode, we dig a little deeper into his design process.&nbsp; I especially enjoyed hearing about how he playtests games, as well as his philosophy when it comes to writing game instructions. He also talks about creating a new line of games for younger children with his daughter, and this segment is really delightful, with insight into how to design for little ones.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image aligncenter size-full\"><img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"933\" height=\"522\" data-attachment-id=\"149845\" data-permalink=\"https:\/\/roomescapeartist.com\/hero-image-repod-s8e1-elan-lee\/\" data-orig-file=\"https:\/\/roomescapeartist.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/09\/Hero-image-REPOD-s8e1-elan-lee.jpg\" data-orig-size=\"933,522\" data-comments-opened=\"1\" data-image-meta=\"{&quot;aperture&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;credit&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;camera&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;caption&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;created_timestamp&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;copyright&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;focal_length&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;iso&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;shutter_speed&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;title&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;orientation&quot;:&quot;0&quot;}\" data-image-title=\"Hero image REPOD s8e1 elan lee\" data-image-description=\"\" data-image-caption=\"\" data-large-file=\"https:\/\/roomescapeartist.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/09\/Hero-image-REPOD-s8e1-elan-lee.jpg\" src=\"https:\/\/roomescapeartist.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/09\/Hero-image-REPOD-s8e1-elan-lee.jpg\" alt=\"Waveform titled Season 9, Elan Lee, CEO of Exploding Kittens. man wearing black hoodie with glasses and goatee, man with short hair and black t shirt, asian woman wearing safari outfit, smiling, wielding a machete and wearing a pink flower in her hair and pink floral scarf.\" class=\"wp-image-149845\" srcset=\"https:\/\/roomescapeartist.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/09\/Hero-image-REPOD-s8e1-elan-lee.jpg 933w, https:\/\/roomescapeartist.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/09\/Hero-image-REPOD-s8e1-elan-lee-300x168.jpg 300w, https:\/\/roomescapeartist.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/09\/Hero-image-REPOD-s8e1-elan-lee-150x84.jpg 150w, https:\/\/roomescapeartist.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/09\/Hero-image-REPOD-s8e1-elan-lee-768x430.jpg 768w, https:\/\/roomescapeartist.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/09\/Hero-image-REPOD-s8e1-elan-lee-600x336.jpg 600w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 933px) 100vw, 933px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Elan creates party games that make the players entertaining. Escape rooms essentially do the same thing by casting their players into the hero role. Elan was really generous in sharing all the elements of his design process with us. Give this episode a listen if you\u2019re interested in applying the Exploding Kittens game philosophy to your experience design of any kind.&nbsp;&nbsp;<br><\/p>\n\n\n\n<!--more-->\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"thank-you-to-our-sponsors\">Thank You to Our Sponsors<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>We are immensely grateful to our sponsors this season: Morty App, Buzzshot, and COGS.
