Why Tabletop Role-Playing Games? Part 3: Creative Problem Solving

Posted on July 28, 2016 Written by wheelwork

It’s been a crazy last few weeks over here at Wheelhouse Workshop!  We doubled the number of groups we are running, and opened an office space to run our groups in South Seattle.  Needless to say, we’ve been very busy, but without further ado, here’s our blog for the week!

In case you missed the earlier posts in the WTRPG series, check them out:

What exactly is a tabletop role-playing game, anyway?
Why Tabletop Role-Playing Games? Part 1: Perspective Taking
Why Tabletop Role-Playing Games? Part 1.5: Theory of Mind
Why Tabletop Role-Playing Games? Part 2: Frustration Tolerance

In this week’s post, we’ll be continuing the discussion of why we use tabletop role-playing games like Dungeons and Dragons in our social skills groups for teens.   In this post, we’ll share how tabletop role-playing games inherently help players develop creative problem-solving skills, why creative problem solving is an important life skill, and how we use games intentionally to help our clients become more comfortable thinking outside the box. ​​​​

Wheelhouse Workshop is expanding…again!

Posted on July 6, 2016 Written by wheelwork

The response to our summer offerings has been overwhelming, and we currently have a waiting list in our Greenwood and Kirkland groups!

Which is why we’re expanding again!

We actually have enough interest that we have added a second group in Kirkland, from 4:30-6:00 PM at the same location, and are investigating opening a second group in Greenwood as well, this time for younger players using the game No Thank You Evil! by Monte Cooke Games.  The game is great for younger players and we’re very excited to use the simpler and easier mechanics with younger players, to help them play together while learning and building social skills.

To learn more, send us an email or give us a call at 206 588 5523!
