Award-Winning Drug-awareness Game for Haringey Council…

BoxcoUK worked with Exposure to manufacture award-winning “Trail Blaze” board game… Exposure is a youth media organisation

Established in 1996, Exposure is a charitable enterprise assisting vulnerable and disadvantaged young people to thrive in all areas of media, advertising and publishing.

The game was produced for Haringey Council – who came up with the concept of designing a board game to teach young people about drugs.

The Trail Blaze Knowledge Game won the National Communicating Youth Justice Award for best promotional work…

Luke, Designer at Exposure Organisation says

“This project often gets picked out. I think because it’s fun and looks interesting. It was really good working on it.Exposure were approached by Haringey Youth Offending Service with a plan for a Cannabis Knowledge board game. We designed everything from the packaging to the board and counter stickers. We also ran it through testing to optimise playability and we used BoxcoUK to help when it came to sourcing and managing the production. Thanks Boxco.”

Elspeth from Production, comments on behalf of the BoxcoUK team

“We worked alongside Exposure to produce the Trail Blaze game, giving advice on board-type and inks.  Our team has a lot of experience now when it comes to producing high-end creative projects. Knowing what to use and how to use it saves time and extra cost involved in using the wrong materials.This was a knowledge game for a council teaching adolescents, we’ve done other board games designed for training staff.”
