Paravel believe that education should work for everyone. We believe that play, problem solving and teamwork are some of the best methods for learning. That is why we use our expertise in gamification to create unique and engaging learning resources. All of our games are tailor-made to fit the specific learning objectives, themes and learning environments of our customers.
About Us
MANAGING DIRECTOR
– Alfie Eccles –
Alfie has worked with gamification for over 10 years in a range of different teaching environments in both Norway and England. His work has included companies, schools, youth clubs, mentoring, NGOs, museums and research in education and he has always been looking for new and effective ways to teach. He has worked specifically with using escape games in education since 2018.
PRODUCTS
Gamification is about using games to increase engagement and effectiveness in education. Our aim is always to make the most effective and engaging educational resources possible. Therefore, we don’t have a set game, template or idea that we begin with; we begin with your topics and learning objectives.
RESEARCH
The use of gamification and especially escape games is constantly growing in popularity and in recent years much research, including systematic reviews and analyses of the theory, has been done into how effective these techniques can be for learning.
We offer a range of games and gamification options from consulting and advice to fully bespoke educational games. We specialise in escape games, which are based on the famous “escape room” concept but come in a variety of shapes, sizes and forms, including escape boxes and digital escape rooms.
TESTIMONIALS
The collaboration was professional and constructive
We commissioned an academically designed game for use in our courses, whereby those that play should experience mastery of the curriculum and community,
whilst also learning how to use the method themselves.
The collaboration was professional and constructive. The final product filled the brief in a creative and innovative way and was very well received.
We are extremely satisfied with our collaboration with Paravel.

Effective and unique way of communicating
Working with Alfie was very enjoyable. His expertise in game-based learning helped us to create five escape room-based learning scenarios for communicating
various initiatives to do with our client’s strategy implementation.
Those taking part found the experience both engaging and entertaining and our client was very pleased with this effective and unique way of
communicating their strategy.
