Our story
Three friends, one shared passion
Shared XP was founded by three friends united by a shared passion for role-playing and immersive theatre. We combine our expertise in psychology, event planning, and sports coaching to develop collaborative activities that genuinely strengthen teamwork and communication.
We're driven by our passion for gaming and collaborative experiences, and we want to share that with you — to help your team engage, inspire, and succeed.
Leadership team
Nick Smith-Patel
Director
“I am an expert facilitator, trainer and public speaker with over 25 years of experience building cohesive and high performing teams. I bring an understanding of the underlying psychology of play and games to bring your session to life with specific debriefs for each client and designs activities to get the best out of your people.”
Ian Reichert
Director
“From photography to printmaking, novel writing to graphic design, narrative games to theatrical directing, if there's a creative discipline, you can bet I've worked in it or with it. I've also trained and worked as a counselling psychologist, focusing on building a positive therapeutic relationship and prioritising the needs of the client. With my expertise everyone will always come away with the most engaging and personal experience, rather than some soulless carbon copied exercise.”
Jason Artemis Winstanley
Director
“I've been playing tabletop role-playing games for fifteen years, and have always thought that collaborative games must have a place in the team-building space. I've attended various team-building exercises, and they've never felt quite right. My hope with Shared XP is that we scratch that itch!”
