What does Topaasia do differently?
Compared to a traditional meeting or workshop
Everyone is seen and heard
The game structure evens out participation, and even the quieter ones take a stand. No more dominating voices or thoughts left unsaid.
Every session ends with a concrete action plan
Each game crystallises the most important issue and assigns responsibility for the actions. No more meetings that lead to nothing.
No preparation, no post-session documentation
The manager picks a deck and starts the session. Summaries are sent to participants automatically by email.
Qualitative data to support decision-making
Sessions accumulate comparable data in the dashboard. Leadership sees what teams consider important.
“This has been a valuable tool because it gives us time to stop together: to reflect on the past, plan the near future and consider what is valuable and meaningful for us in the big picture. With Topaasia, development targets become concrete enough and turn into small actions that people can genuinely commit to.”
“The goal for playing was to create a safe space and time for conversation. The greatest value of Topaasia for Vincit was the dialogue, which is expected to bring benefits especially in the long run.”
“The Topaasia game guides dialogue with a certain structure. It makes it possible for us to remember what dialogue feels like and how to be in it. We have permission to be in dialogue. You do not have to defend your own viewpoints; instead, I have permission to voice my own thoughts as an equal, thinking out loud.”

And yet it can be solved as easily as relaxed chatting over a card game. When a conversation has structure, everyone dares to say their thoughts out loud and talk turns into action.
What do HR and change makers use Topaasia for?
Engaging people in strategy and change initiatives
Bring strategy and change into everyday work in a participatory way.
Debriefing employee surveys
From survey results to developing the everyday life of the work community.
Development discussions for individuals and teams
Conversations that genuinely develop.
Support in times of change
For working through issues in changes big and small.
Developing wellbeing and the work community
Learning, wellbeing at work and working as a team.
Support for managers
A ready-made structure for group and development discussions.
“Our managers used Topaasia to debrief employee surveys. Not every manager knows how to unpack surveys and take all the necessary perspectives into account, and they do not need to. That is why this supports managers so well: the conversation becomes concrete, and in the survey debrief employees are treated equally. With this, everyone gets a good experience of the surveys and of working through their results.”
“The biggest benefit has been that with Topaasia, the team itself makes visible what matters most to them at that moment. Topaasia opens up the inner landscape of the team and works as a key to agreeing together on what happens next. That way the power to act also stays within the team, instead of being outsourced as a wish list to HR or management, for example.”
“In terms of employee engagement, we are much further along with Topaasia than we would have been without it. The support the games provided for the conversations held in teams and across the organisation was essential to our success, as we had a tight schedule and a lot of people.”
Do you create moments in your organisation to pause together?
“If I had to name just one thing that would make working life leap forward in kangaroo bounds, it would be pausing for dialogue. As a method, gamification strengthens dialogue, prioritising together, listening and the skill of shifting perspective. Developing everyday work in small enough pieces is one way to build a humanly sustainable work culture.”
The game guides, everyone participates
The cards help put thoughts into words. Cards are discussed and voted on, by name or anonymously.
In an hour, remote or in person
Session length is adjusted with perspective rounds, and timers keep the conversation on schedule.
No preparation, automatic summaries
Every manager can run an engaging conversation without preparing. Summaries are saved during the game and sent to participants automatically.
A consistent, repeatable structure
Conversations are consistently high quality regardless of who runs them and for whom.
Over 50 ready-made conversation topics and custom games
Ready-made games for municipal strategy, survey debriefs and work community development, among others. Custom games are built from your needs, even from your own strategy.
Qualitative data to support decision-making
The content of the conversations is saved automatically, and the analysis shows leadership what teams are thinking.

“It is always claimed that new systems and tools are easy, but are they really that easy to use? In Topaasia’s case, they truly are.
Interested colleagues have asked me whether game leaders need to be trained, whether you need some certification course, whether using the game requires a lot of back and forth, whether the system has any difficulties. To my delight, I can answer to all of it: it is easy.
I would describe the onboarding as especially easy: if you can pay your bills in your online bank, you can most certainly use Topaasia.”
“If you genuinely want to go deeper in a conversation, so that you do not always talk only about the issues but about causes, consequences and possibilities, a kind of 360 thinking, then I would recommend using Topaasia to help. Whether it is a team or an individual, playing creates a broader picture of the situation.”
“People had a strong experience of involvement and a feeling that their own perspective was heard. Unlike traditional conversation or development work, Topaasia frames the context in which the conversation takes place and helps prioritise. A strong shared view emerged of what to focus on. We took the conversation to a different level than we were used to and got deeper, to the things that really matter.”
