Sembl is a powerful system for thinking in a divergent, creative, social way. ‘Sembl thinking’ involves:
- resemblance – understand a thing by exploring its kinship to another thing
- visual dialogue – understand a group of things by seeing them in spatial arrangement
It starts as a digital board game. Look at a seed item – a photograph or quotation – and find something that resembles it. The challenge? Be interesting.
Spawned as fiction, sustained by the practice of a vagabond monk, Sembl is a rocking new life-form and this is its ground.
Meet the people, see our plans and progress. And join in :)

yes, please, eyed lyke to play.
