You can download The Gift Horse for free, but making a small donation via Kofi will help to support Ludogogy, and make it possible for us to develop more games for download


The Gift Horse invites you to tune into the animal which has attached itself to you – and find out more about it and yourself.  You can play on your own or with others, and either put aside time for a play session, or make the game a regular practice which fits into your everyday life.

Play by journaling, having conversations or just in your head. The Gift Horse wants to give you an experience just for you, and invites you to become the player, and designer of, an adventure of discovery with your animal avatar.

The game is suitable to be used in learning settings to encourage reflection, maybe on roles within a team, or for reflective coaching. Its eventual applications are limited only by your imagination, as you are free to amend this game, or create your own game based on it.

  1. When playing, “The Gift Horse” can mythical creations also be used as the animal we align with? Getting ready to play with some friends next week.

    • Absolutely. The Gift Horse is yours to play with and modify as you wish. If you want to align with a mythical creature, or historic figure, or even an inanimate object, that’s entirely up to you. Enjoy your game
