SAME DiffeRent in Education

When laughing is learning

SAME DiffeRent isn’t just for parties and game nights — it’s also making waves in classrooms across the Netherlands. More and more schools are using our game to spark conversation, build connection, and add a healthy dose of humor to citizenship education, mentor lessons, and group dynamics.

We’re proud to say that these schools have already added a twist of SAME DiffeRent to their lessons:

  • KSE Etten-Leur, the Netherlands

  • VSO De Korenaer Eindhoven, the Netherlands

  • SintLucas Boxtel & Eindhoven, the Netherlands

  • Summa College Eindhoven, the Netherlands

  • Elde College Schijndel, the Netherlands

  • Lytham – St Annes High School, UK 

What happens when a game enters the classroom?

You get a room full of engaged students, real talk, and a lot of laughter. Teachers tell us that SAME DiffeRent helps break the ice, strengthen group bonds, and give students the tools (and confidence) to express themselves.

Let’s be honest — we’ve all tried the Kahoot quizzes. And while fun at first, they can quickly turn into a race where only the fastest (and the know-it-alls) thrive. For many students, that can be frustrating. SAME DiffeRent flips that script. With its low trivia threshold and open-ended questions, it invites everyone in. Whether you’re shy, thoughtful, outspoken, or still finding your voice — this game makes space for all students to participate in their own way.

From questions like “How many bananas are there in a bunch?” to dilemmas about which colour you associate with Autumn that helps spark debate, the game encourages students to think, share, and connect — without the pressure of “right” answers. Because in this game the answers might be right but can you all think SAME DiffeRent.

But where are the photos?

We get it — you’d love to see how it works in action. So would we. But because of privacy rules and the importance of protecting students, we don’t share photos from the classroom. Just know this: behind the scenes, students are playing, talking, laughing, and surprising their teachers in the best possible ways.

Want to bring SAME DiffeRent to your school?

Let’s talk. We offer school edition workshops for teachers, and upon request teacher guides to make implementation in the classroom both easy — and fun.
