🎲 Can games really help us connect, grow, and thrive?

Join us for a powerful Divergent Discussion with Luke Holdsworth, Founder of Spectrum Quest, who is using the magic of tabletop role-playing games (TTRPGs) to support social and emotional development in neurodiverse communities.

Luke’s story is one of transformation. Growing up with Autism and ADHD, he faced challenges in communication and social interaction. But through creativity, collaborative storytelling, and the world of role-playing games, he not only found connection but built a career helping others do the same.

At Spectrum Quest, Luke runs immersive gaming experiences designed to foster social connection, teamwork, and mental wellbeing. In this session, Luke will share how TTRPGs can become a safe space for self-expression, skill-building, and meaningful friendships.

✨ Whether you’re a gamer, a parent, or simply curious about new ways to support social connection, this conversation will open your mind to the transformative power of play.
