The story of Brailing! 

In October 2022, our teacher gave us a simple assignment: “Create a board game and present it.” We, Damir and Eligijus, weren’t exactly board game enthusiasts — so we weren’t exactly thrilled. As we listened to our classmates’ ideas, most of them were just remakes of old games. Then Eligijus said, “Let’s create something we’ve never seen before.”

That moment sparked the idea for a game designed for people with disabilities. It didn’t feel like a massive breakthrough at first, just an idea. But when we presented it a few weeks later, it earned us top marks. That was the end of the assignment… or so we thought.

When we participated in a Junior Achievement event, everything changed. We realized that this could become more than just a school project — it had the potential to be a real product. We visited the Mažeikiai Blind Community, and that’s when we saw it clearly: this game could have a real impact.

We partnered with the community and got to work. Using our school’s 3D printer, we kept improving and refining the game. What started as a school project soon turned into something much bigger. Today, we’re proud to share this game with you on our online store.

This journey wouldn’t have been possible without the support of our teachers, Junior Achievement, mentors, God and everyone who believed in us.
