Planpolitik Gbr

What Planpolitik Gbr does

Planpolitik Gbr is a Berlin-based German civil law partnership (GbR) that develops socio-political simulation games, interactive educational modules, and professional training for civic and political topics. The company serves a primarily public-sector and nonprofit client base, including German federal and state institutions, EU bodies, political foundations, universities, and civil society organizations, working through consulting engagements, public tenders, and project-based contracts. Its portfolio spans five core formats (Simulation Games, Interactive Educational Modules, Strategy and Scenarios, Skills Training, and Serious Games) plus two service lines (Consulting and Training, Moderation and Event Organisation), delivered in digital, on-site, or blended formats.

The company's central technological asset is Senaryon, a proprietary software platform described by the firm as globally unique for hosting online socio-political simulation games. Planpolitik operates with an integrated in-house production model covering content development, methodological design, moderation, event organization, and technical and visual implementation, which it markets as a structural differentiator versus competitors that typically subcontract across vendors. Distribution is event-driven and relationship-led, with over 100 named institutional partners across Europe and presence on LinkedIn, Instagram, Bluesky, and a bi-monthly newsletter, while Senaryon enables self-serve digital delivery of simulations.

Planpolitik operates as an independently owned partnership with no disclosed external investors, parent company, or subsidiaries, and discloses no revenue or headcount figures beyond the 11-50 employee band. Pricing is not publicly disclosed, with revenue appearing to mix professional services, project-based module development, and potentially recurring platform access via Senaryon. The company is actively operating from its headquarters at Friedelstraße 16 in Berlin.

Scale indicators1 record

Recent moves6 records

Expansion highlights5 records

Others

• Games for Change: US-based nonprofit organization and industry network that curates and promotes serious games for social impact, education, and civic engagement. Ecosystem-level peer: not a direct commercial competitor, but operates in the same civic-impact-games space and shapes the institutional buyer environment in which Planpolitik competes.

Direct peers

• Practice (Practitioner.com): I'm not confident this company exists at the listed website. Omitting rather than guessing.
• iCivics: US-based nonprofit producing video games for civic and constitutional education. Closest conceptual peer to Planpolitik: same target audience (students/citizens), same delivery mechanism (interactive educational games on political processes), though operating at national scale in the US rather than Europe.
• Filament Games: US-based serious-games studio that designs and develops educational games for institutional clients (museums, universities, foundations, government agencies). Direct comparable on serious-games-as-a-service business model, B2B/B2G institutional client base, and in-house content + tech production capability.
• Gamelearn: Spain-headquartered vendor of serious games and gamified training courses for corporate and professional training (negotiation, leadership, soft skills). Direct peer in the serious-games-for-training category, with comparable client type (corporate training buyers) and overlapping product overlap with Planpolitik's skills-training line.

Emerging players

• Mursion: US-based provider of VR-powered simulation training for soft skills (leadership, sales, DEI). Adjacent emerging player that, like Planpolitik, sells simulation-based experiential learning to enterprises and institutional buyers, though specializing in avatar-led VR rather than socio-political content.

Broad incumbents

• Kahoot!: Norway-headquartered, publicly listed educational games platform used broadly across schools and corporate training. A broader incumbent in the same educational-games category; not a specialist in civic/political education, but represents the kind of scaled platform competitor Planpolitik's Senaryon could face in institutional procurement.
