We capture attention through the complicit and popular language of the game and the expectation of a memorable user experience.
We help you exploit the potential of game design to transform your message into a meaningful interaction for the user, which strengthens their bond with the brand and makes the rewards offered desirable.
Together we transform your content into a game to exploit the advantages of the media, including: accessible and complicit language, the possibility of tuning difficulty and level of depth to the proximal development zone of each student, promoting systemic thinking while avoiding notionalism, developing skills while avoiding frustration, stimulating critical thinking through comparison, debate and cooperation between peers.
We use the accessible language of playful interaction to explain and persuade. We create empowerment and promote contributory activation through procedural rhetoric. We overcome the limits and traps of nudging and help you collect meaningful metrics for your sustainability report
We develop serious games to simulate scenarios, experiment relational dynamics, transmit values, verify knowledge and validate skills.
We apply andragogical training principles that enhance the role and experience of students through active and intentional learning.

We’ve been working with Whitesock for an interesting research project involving custom video
game development integrated with haptics hardware we have developed.
It has been a very nice discovery because I have never worked with them in the past.
They have been very responsible and very open to meet stringent research specifications and timing.
Honestly, I have been very satisfied with the work of whitesock, that I recommend to others.
If I could, and there would be possibility in the future I would definitely consider them again
to entrust games development jobs.

Researcher in Psychology | Behavioural Economist and Game Scientist.
As Università degli Studi di Firenze, we collaborated with Whitesock on the ACTERRA project to create “Virivì e l’ombra della pioggia”, a video game that explores the issue of flood risk in an adventurous way. The Whitesock team successfully incorporated the agreed-upon educational content into the video game, creating an engaging, fun, and educational game, working with the utmost professionalism and passion.

CRM & Digital Marketing Manager – GIUNTI EDITORE S.P.A.
We contacted Whitesock for the new design and UX of our loyalty platform for the bookstore chain, and from the outset, they demonstrated professionalism and understanding of the project’s objectives. By working with them, we discovered a reliable and creative partner capable of translating our ideas into effective solutions. We were impressed by their ability to combine creativity and functionality. We highly recommend Whitesock to anyone looking for a competent partner for Gamification, design, and UX projects.
Gabriella Duca
President of ISSNOVA Foundation
We work with Whitesock in international EU-funded projects. We were impressed by the team’s thoroughness in exploring real dynamics and scenarios of the situations to be rendered in the game, never settling on clichés. Another great ability is to define the relevant and specific didactic and educational goals of the game for each project, dialoguing with international and definitely multidisciplinary teams. In a short time they have become our partner of choice for game design activities.
Tommaso Perrulli
School and social projects manager – Unicoop Firenze
The work of Whitesock on the Prosperia, Chef Adventure and Simbioasi projects has been very important because it has allowed us to successfully use the language of gaming in schools. Whitesock has been able to interpret the briefing and transform our content into original and engaging games that successfully explain value-based content, encouraging children to make conscious choices from a young age. Whitesock has proven to be a reliable and competent partner in creating effective, inclusive educational projects with a significant media impact.
Laura Vaioli
Manager – The Sign Comics & Arts Academy
For TheSIGN Academy, Whitesock is a valuable partner. Not only because its founders and several team members have been or are currently instructors at game dev courses, but also because having a continuous dialogue with a significant player in the Italian gaming industry allows the academy to stay up-to-date on industry needs, intercept trends and innovations related to the subjects taught in the courses, and offer its students greater opportunities in terms of networking and career prospects. For those seeking a technological partner with high expertise in game design and game development, I would absolutely recommend Whitesock for professionalism, reliability, and enthusiasm.
Agripino Do Monte Gomes
Project Manager – Macramè
Our experience has been quite positive. The kids are always very nice and helpful in solving any problems, both technical and organizational. The classes are always very interactive, the teachers are very good at engaging the kids, making the lessons both didactic and light and fun.
Paolo Lippi
Production Manager – Nume+
I had the opportunity in the past to appreciate Vincenzo’s rare abilities, and when Nume Plus needed a consultation and a team capable of creating 3D applications and VR, we had no doubts: WS was undoubtedly the right interlocutor. In fact, it was able to interpret our needs and accompany us throughout the entire process of realization with attention and proactivity. In a complex field like that of computer science, graphics, and so-called new technologies, they were able to combine creative invention, storyboarding skills, and mastery of programming and graphics. This is no small feat!
Emanuela Cavazzini
CEO & Founding Partner – Brandcross
I was looking for an educational APP developer company to create a gaming APP for autistic children, and at the same time also for normal children, taken from the animated series IL MONDO DI LEO. Careful research on the web led me to meet Whitesock, with whom we immediately established a constructive and collaborative dialogue which convinced me that I was on the right path. Their competence, seriousness seasoned with an abundant dose of collaboration and availability bore fruit and the APP-GAME IL MONDO DI LEO was successfully created. For those who, like me, do not know the world of APP developers and above all all the technology behind it, it was a unique and educational experience from which I also learned a lot.
Lorenzo Levrero
Executive Creative Director & Co-Founder – Nerdo Studio
We were initially uncertain about how to proceed with the development of our first augmented reality app, but the Whitesock team, with their expertise and professionalism, allowed us to overcome the technical challenges and create a high-quality product exactly as we had envisioned it.
Fabrizio Boldrini
General Manager – Fondazione Villa Montesca
The Villa Montesca Foundation asked WS to develop an educational project on the theme of multi-religious school inclusion. To address this dedicated theme, a game was jointly created that could allow students across Europe to reflect on the differences related to the religion they profess. It was a very positive experience that fully highlighted the professionalism of the developers and their ability to be flexible in an encounter with experts from the field, who also had diverse cultural and religious sensitivities. See the project at lifetwo.eu, the game is called “40 Answers”.
Giulia Collodel
Professor – Università degli Studi di Siena
the Whitesock team showed a remarkable ability to research and adapt to our scientific needs. The final result, Oxistress, rigorously respects scientific data and conveys it through an accessible and engaging experience. With this project, Whitesock has successfully transformed complex content into an active and immersive learning experience that enhances student engagement and understanding. That’s why I highly recommend Whitesock to any educational or research institution looking to innovate its teaching and scientific dissemination methods.

Francesco Pozzi
Executive Master Coordinator – IESCUM
I contacted Vincenzo after meeting him during the presentation of the “Il Mondo di Leo” project, to invite him to give a lecture at our Executive Master’s in Behavioral Economics and Nudging. I found the Whitesock approach to be extremely thorough and scientifically valid. As expected, Vincenzo’s contribution was very valuable and well-aligned with the curriculum of our master’s program, receiving extremely positive feedback from all the students. I believe that the theoretical and practical skills underlying Whitesock make them a valuable partner for effective corporate training or ESG initiatives, aimed not only at behavioral change but also at transforming mindsets.
Alessandro Innocenti
LabVR UNISI Coordinator – Università degli Studi di Siena
I have had the pleasure of working with both Vincenzo and Francesco, and I hold them in high regard for their professionalism and expertise. Whitesock’s team excels in transforming complex content into engaging and effective serious games. Their meticulous approach to design and technological proficiency make them an invaluable partner for delivering research projects as well as didactic experiences. I highly recommend Whitesock to academic colleagues and companies seeking innovative and impactful solutions.
