Discover Roofers Rally: Fun, collaborative learning for roofers! This innovative educational game helps jobseekers and workers boost their professional skills and has been available since September 2025 across French-speaking Belgium.
Roofers Rally is a team quiz board game that covers various aspects of the roofing profession. The 696 questions are divided into six themes directly aligned with the key activities of the job profile established by the Francophone Service for Trades and Qualifications:
- metal roofing,
- sloped roofing,
- bituminous and synthetic waterproofing,
- rainwater collection components,
- safety,
- eco-construction.
It can be played in auction mode (players place bets on the number of answers they think they can give on a specific theme) or in speed mode with a buzzer. Its modularity allows it to be used for active learning, knowledge reinforcement or revision before an exam or remedial purpose.
From an individual initiative to a collaborative project
From 2022 to 2024, a roofing trainer at Bruxelles Formation created an initial prototype, inspired by a famous board game, to diversify teaching methods at its construction training centre. Early tests with job seekers quickly spotlighted the game's power to boost memorisation, skill acquisition, and teamwork.
The project gained momentum in 2024 with support from the training and employment hub Construcity.brussels. Under the Brussels Renolution.brussels strategy for energy-efficient building renovations, they invested EUR 5 000 and 60 hours of coordination. Construcity teamed up with Art of Games, a Belgian specialist in educational games, for stunning graphic design, rule development, card proofreading and translation, and production of 10 game sets.
Rollout on a larger scale
Since 2025, Bruxelles Formation learners have embraced the remastered game, with very positive feedback. Building on this success, the trainer-inventor forged a key partnership with the Association des Couvreurs Formateurs de Bruxelles (ACF) in autumn 2025. A grant of EUR 10 000 now funds the production of 300 additional game sets.
In collaboration with ACF, the goal is ambitious: roll out Roofers Rally to more workshops and training rooms. It is also hitting the market for companies eager to sharpen their roofing team’s skills. International expansion to training centres in French-speaking countries is on the horizon. Looking ahead, an online tutorial is in development, along with a Dutch version in partnership with the Belgian roofers’ federation: embuild roofers.
