Since 2021, Gedeon Richter (A Hungary-based global pharma firm) has supported its colleagues through the Richter Balance Program, a wellbeing initiative designed to help employees experience balance in their everyday lives from a physical, mental and relational perspective.

One of the program’s flagship elements is Mental Health Day. In 2025, its focus was connection: to each other, to ourselves and to the world around us. The program explored how the quality of our relationships influences our everyday wellbeing and, through that, our sense of balance.

The client needed a low-threshold interactive activity that could visually and lightly guide colleagues between program locations, encourage spontaneous connections and communicate the key messages of Mental Health Day in a playful way.

For Richter’s Mental Health Day, we created an analog framework game built around 3 activities, combining treasure hunting, puzzle solving and board game mechanics.

The central venue was the lobby of Richter’s new headquarters, a high-visibility space with significant daily traffic. The activity had to attract employees, organize information in one clear framework and help guide participants toward the other program elements of the day.

The experience also had to work for a highly diverse employee community: blue- and white-collar colleagues, different generations, active members of the Balance Program and those who were encountering it for the first time.

The result was a playful, easy-to-join activity system that supported connection while also encouraging participants to engage more deeply with the themes of mental wellbeing, self-reflection and collaboration.

3 playable activities

At the start of Mental Health Day, participants could join 3 game-based activities, each approaching connection and wellbeing from a different angle.

Mental Monsters

Face Stress, Burnout, Anxiety and Loneliness as giant illustrated monsters, and defeat them through logic, strategy and giant dice.

Find the Balance!

Search for the building blocks of balance between mind and soul through a treasure hunt combined with a crossword puzzle.

Connect!

Decode the message of Mental Health Day by working together with others, because each participant holds only one piece of the solution.

The real impact

The real impact

The project was delivered in close coordination with Richter’s team. The activities transformed the central lobby into a visible, accessible and inviting game zone that not only drew attention, but also helped participants navigate the broader Mental Health Day program.

The [eureka] team was responsible for:

  • Designing the 3-part game-based activity framework

  • Creating the rules, mechanics and participant journey

  • Producing the visual, print and game assets

  • Facilitating the activities on-site and supporting participant engagement

  • Collecting and evaluating online feedback and results

The project successfully turned the topic of mental wellbeing into an approachable shared experience. 270 colleagues took part in the playful activities, 139 participants gave feedback, and the programs received an average rating of 4.79 / 5.

The recommendation rate was also exceptionally strong: 138 respondents said they would recommend the program to their colleagues, while only 1 answered no.

Participant feedback speaks for itself:

I am grateful for the experiences I received! Thank you for organizing such opportunities for us!

One of the most meaningful moments came when a participant connected personally with the Anxiety Mental Monster and, through the support of the facilitator, was guided toward the professional psychological consultation available on-site. For us, this showed exactly why the games mattered: they created a psychologically safe space where someone could recognize, express and take a first step toward addressing a real personal challenge.
