Mission
The city is designed for work. Day in and day out, we meander through it’s streets enroute to our 9-5. Grayspaces, empty spaces, abandoned spaces all pass by, left unnoticed. We look to re-energize these spaces through creative interventions. Our goal is to spark innovative thinking through playful action. Through play our mind solves problems, expands our lines of thinking, and relaxes our body.
Creative people are curious, flexible, persistent, and independent with a tremendous spirit of adventure and a love of play.

The Projects
The reasoning
Even some of todays great minds are putting the science behind the positive affects on not just adolescent play, but for adults as well. The brain needs exercise too, and to generate some true, out-of-the-box thinking, sometimes some out-of-the-box methods are needed. Hence, play. Below is just some of the areas enhanced by Daily Acts of Play™.
We do more than whistle while we work.
Our Principal Players
Our vastly talented group of creatives spans all sorts of backgrounds from designers, to planners to engineers. Everyone has the talent for play, you need only to have the will. Our group continues to grow, and grow, much beyond those you see here, and while all are welcome to join onto a build team, it is the select few here that seem to keep the train on the tracks
