About Us

Vision

To reimagine learning as a lifelong journey of joy, character, and discovery, where every child becomes the protagonist of their own story—guided not by rigid exams, but by curiosity, purpose, and play.


Through the PLEMO Paradigm, we aim to build a future where education grows with the learner, adapts to their emotional and cognitive development, and empowers them to thrive as both thinkers and people.

Mission

At PlayED Games & Education Studio, our mission is to:

  • Build a scalable, adaptive, and emotionally intelligent learning ecosystem powered by the PLEMO Paradigm.


  • Design deeply immersive edugames, AI companions, and physical-digital tools that translate everyday moments into growth experiences.


  • Fuse academics, character development, and personalized learning paths into one cohesive, gamified framework.


  • Ensure every learner—not just the high achievers—experiences visible growth, intrinsic motivation, and a sense of meaning and mastery.


  • Partner with educators, parents, and researchers to validate and evolve our approach, so that it remains impactful, research-aligned, and globally relevant.

Our Team

Dominic Chai

Dominic wears many hats—he’s the visionary behind the PLEMO Paradigm, a seasoned K–6 tutor, and a former Singapore-MIT GAMBIT Lab game studio lead. His career spans:

  • Game Industry Veteran: 10+ years in AAA and indie studios, shipped titles on iOS, Android, PC and console.

“My mission is simple: turn every curious moment into an unforgettable learning adventure.”

Yeo Jing Ying

Operations Manager
Project Lead • Process Champion • Community Builder

Jing Ying keeps the engines running smoothly—from coordinating playtests to managing our home-grown pilot classes. Key strengths include:


  • Pilot & Partner Coordination: Onboarded 15+ preschools and after-school centres for early trials, gathering rich user feedback.


  • Workflow & QA: Established our agile sprint routines, documentation standards and accessibility audits.


  • Parent & Educator Liaison: Designs facilitator guides, training modules and “family challenge” kits to bridge home and studio.


“Great ideas only take flight with rock-solid processes and genuine human connections.”

Gerald Yong

Narrative Director
Storyteller • Ludologist • Child-Psych Enthusiast

Gerald crafts the worlds and characters that make learning feel like play. His blend of narrative design and psychology ensures every quest resonates:


  • Branching Narratives: Created 50+ interactive story arcs, weaving core competencies into moral choices and puzzles.


  • Ludology & Mechanics: Expert in hybrid systems—real-time action meets turn-based strategy—rooted in Flow Theory and VARK principles.


  • Child Psychology: Consulted on SPED-friendly content, embedding emotional-awareness prompts and scaffolds for diverse learners.


“A story well told sparks curiosity—and that’s the spark that lights lifelong learners.”

Our Extended Crew

We’re also supported by a tight network of specialists:


  • Aerospace-to-EdTech Advisor (Sydney-based, 20+ years in systems engineering)


  • Licensed Child Psychologists (for SPED pathways)
