PSFK takes a look at ESI, a design firm that strives to create immersive experiences through gaming

This past weekend, Come Out and Play was one of the top events happening in New York City. The events comprised of free outdoor games that let anyone have fun with new people for free. PSFK got a chance to visit the masterminds behind these games, ESI Design, and get a closer look at the firm’s recent work—and to play some games.

The firm is located in a beautiful open space that overlooks the New York City skyline.

His love of games has led the firm to produce some interesting projects.
