Owiwi 2.0 - Everything You Need To Know!

What do Plato, the Yoruba Tribe and Owiwi have in common?

Well, we all believe in the mantra of learning through play.

As our kinsfolk Plato once said, you can learn more about a person in an hour of play, than a whole year of conversation…And truer words were never spoken.

Yet Plato was not the only pioneer in that regard. You see, the Yoruba Tribe is actually known for its very playful culture, and many of the games we play today can have their roots traced back from this tribe.

It is evident that both the Yoruba and Plato were on to something when it came to playing games…

Inspired by Plato and the Yoruba Tribe, Owiwi combined these philosophies to create a unique solution that offers greater insights than any other experience.

You see, Owiwi stands for “Owl” in the Nigerian dialect of the Yoruba people; and much in the same way that the owl sees things in the dark that others cannot, so can we “see” your skills and talents!

And that is exactly why Owiwi was created! To bring games into the forefront of corporate culture and to help “unlock” people’s potential; through play!

For those who don’t know us…

Owiwi is a FREE game-based assessment tool that measures a person’s Soft Skills (I.E Interpersonal Skills) through an immersive gaming experience where every interaction helps to shape a comprehensive Soft Skills profile; showcasing your strengths and areas of improvement to enhance your “employability” in your next job interview!

Now that you are a little more familiar with who we are and why we do what we do, we would like to familiarize you with our latest product and all its new attributes!
