Sea Monster confirmed as King's Trust International partner to redesign Enterprise Game
The Cape Town studio will deploy the entrepreneurship game across six Commonwealth countries
Sea Monster has been confirmed as the official partner for The King's Trust International, tasked with redesigning and building the charity's large-scale Enterprise Game to be deployed across six Commonwealth countries.
The Cape Town impact games studio will bring its African-led approach to entrepreneurship education to a global audience through the partnership.
Founded by King Charles III to address youth unemployment, The King's Trust International operates in 20 countries. The partnership is framed as a validation of designing for constraint-heavy environments first.
Made in Africa tools
Moreover, Sea Monster said an entrepreneurship education tool built for African realities cannot simply be adapted from a Western curriculum, and must be mobile-first, offline-capable, and culturally relevant.
"An entrepreneurship education tool designed for this context cannot simply be adapted from a Western curriculum. It must be mobile-first, offline-capable, and culturally relevant," said Sea Monster co-founder and CEO Glenn Gillis. "The tools we are building in South Africa, for South African realities, are the tools the world needs."
The deal builds on Sea Monster's track record in the space, including the Allan Gray Entrepreneurship Challenge, Chow Town on Roblox for Nedbank (which surpassed 1.5 million visits as the first African bank-led Roblox experience), and My Lemonade Day for the US-based Lemonade Day programme.
Backed by more than R16 million ($960,000) in cumulative funding from Edge Growth across multiple funds since 2011, the studio has positioned itself as a serious games specialist with international reach.
