About
HDX is Human Development eXperience.
We design corporate learning as games people play, not courses they attend — and we license them to training providers who already hold the client relationships we never will.

The method
Discovery based, which is a commitment rather than a description.
A conventional session tells people something and then asks them to apply it. Discovery based learning inverts that. The insight arrives while participants are inside the problem, because they did something and watched what it cost them.
That is why our sessions are scenario based and competitive. Teams solve problems, test strategies against other teams and make decisions under a clock. Nobody is told what the lesson is until they have already lived it.
The debrief is where it becomes transferable. Half the value of every HDX session is in the conversation afterwards, connecting what the room just did to what the room does at work on Monday.
- 01They act firstDecisions before frameworks, every time.
- 02It costs them somethingRounds are timed and scored. Choices have consequences inside the game.
- 03They name it themselvesThe debrief surfaces the pattern. We do not hand it over on a slide.
- 04It transfersClient-ready reporting connects the session to the behaviour it was run to change.
Three kinds of game, one catalogue
Most of our competitors are screen based. We are not, and that range is the reason a partner can answer more briefs with one licence.
Physical
Boxes, components, cards and construction. Nothing to log into and nothing to go wrong on the venue wifi.
Digital
Platform games run by a facilitator, virtual or in the room. Metered by participant credit.
Immersive
Large format. Falcon Eye runs for up to 500 people in a single hall.
Design process
Prototypes, card decks in development, a playtest in progress
Who runs it
Fernando Mendes
GST (Dubai, UTC+4)
Fernando takes every partner call himself and reads every application that arrives. HDX is deliberately small: the catalogue scales through partners, not through headcount.
Who we build with
Myndher
Our partner on Falcon Eye and Flow. Not every game in the catalogue was built alone, and the ones that were not say so.
The team
The people behind HDX, beyond Fernando
The company
HDX Simulations is a brand of Human Development Solutions FZCO, registered in Dubai. Sessions have run in 17 countries since 2020, most of them delivered by certified partners under their own brand rather than by us.
