Abstract
The four categories labelled game-design, didactic design, organisational design and business design each constitute a set of challenges, each requiring a particular set of competencies. The key conclusion of the paper is that even though the learning game design constitutes the core of establishing game based business (GBB), the subsequent stages of development call for other kinds of competencies in order to become a viable GBB.
