The HRP logo embedded into a map with Scholarch text.

Scholarch is a solo journaling RPG about constructing a school in a fantasy world. ‍

Using a grid-based building system, you’ll take on the role of a school architect creating a learning community. Over time, you’ll experience how attendees engage in your space and respond accordingly. ‍

At the end of this game, you will have assembled a journal of experiences in this fantasy land with notes, stories, and reflections on your journey. You’ll sketch a full school community full of surprises. ‍

This game-based reflection prompt is prepared for Conference to Restore Humanity! 2025: Quest for Connection and connects to built-in activities each day. That said, feel free to use Scholarch in any way you see fit: over many days, all at once, within a professional development community or by yourself. ‍

Scholarch is designed to be a simple, creative exercise in imagining schooling in new and fascinating ways.
