Serious Game Developers: Studios That Build Games for Training, Education and Health (2026)
As of 11 October 2026, 18 studios in this directory list serious games as a specialty, including ASSIST Software, iLogos Game Studios and Zatun. A serious game is built for a purpose other than entertainment: training staff, soldiers or surgeons, teaching a subject, supporting a therapy, or carrying a museum's or a charity's message. Most are commissioned by people who rarely buy games, such as training departments, universities, hospitals and public bodies, so a good studio asks how you will measure the result, not only how the game should look. The same work is sometimes called applied games, and in virtual reality it often goes by training simulation. Each card gives the studio's city, team size, founding year and main services. Membership comes from the specialty tags on each listing. Featured listings sort first and are labelled.

How We Select
How to choose a serious game studio
Start with the result you need and how you will measure it: a training game is judged on what people can do afterwards, a learning game on test results, a health game on whether patients keep using it. Ask each studio how it measured a past project and what it found. Ask for work in your sector, because hospitals, armed forces, schools and regulated companies each bring their own rules on data, accessibility and sign-off. Agree who designs the content: many studios build the game while you or a subject expert supply the learning design, so settle who owns that work and how many review rounds it gets. Then name the platform, since a browser game packaged for your learning management system, a VR training station and a phone app for patients are different projects.
Frequently asked questions
Which studios develop serious games?
The 18 studios on this list name serious games as a specialty on their own listing, as of 11 October 2026. Studios on it include ASSIST Software, iLogos Game Studios and Zatun. Their sectors differ, from corporate and military training to schools and healthcare, so check each listing for work in your sector and ask for a project you can try.
Is gamification the same as a serious game?
No. A serious game is a complete game whose main purpose is something other than fun, such as training a skill, teaching a subject or supporting a treatment. Gamification adds game elements such as points, badges, levels or leaderboards to something that is not a game, like a learning platform, a fitness app or a loyalty programme. This list is for studios that build complete games. Many of them also do gamification, so say in your brief which one you need.
Are advergames serious games?
Some definitions include them, since an advergame is made to promote a brand rather than only to entertain. This directory tags them separately as branded games, because a marketing campaign is bought and judged differently from a training or learning project. Studios that make both carry both tags.
How much does a serious game cost?
Scope sets the price more than purpose does: a short browser game for a learning platform and a multi-scenario VR training simulator are priced very differently. This directory does not publish prices for individual studios. Ask each studio for a past project of similar scope and what it cost, and whether content design, testing with real learners and hosting are included or quoted separately.
