How might we encourage focused observation and attention through a playful and physical interaction? 

Realm Readers is an immersive, seek-and-find board game that takes players on a journey through five abstract realms of the mind: Memory, Emotion, Focus, Perspective, and Imagination. The game combines hidden clues with hand-drawn illustrations and realm-specific challenges to create a visually interactive experience. I designed a game board, custom game tokens, a dual-dice mechanic, and a point-based gameplay system that encourages exploration, storytelling, and visual discovery.
