Welcome to Clicktopia

Experience the thrill of compliance training from the comfort of your own existential dread.

✺ Fake asked questions ✺

  • It’s an art project, digital smash room, and parody of the current state of generic training rolled out in orgs around the world.

  • Because look at how much time, money, and energy gets poured into it — by organisations designing it, and by people forced to sit through it — only for the real outcomes to be... well, mostly creative new ways to click “next” faster and get back to their actual jobs.

    We accept training that doesn’t deliver ROI or real behaviour change. Worse, it often deepens disengagement, or subtly teaches people to resent learning altogether. That’s heartbreaking, because when learning is well designed it can be transformational.

    I’m tough on it because I think we all deserve better.

  • Is it dramatic to think people deserve learning experiences that respect their time, dignity, and intelligence?
    Humans are wired for curiosity and growth.
    It’s actually pretty rational to believe work should empower people, not push them to distrust and disengage. The fact we have to argue for this? Now that’s dramatic.

  • Sure. And not all plane food is soggy and tasteless. But let’s not pretend the average is gourmet.

    (also: that wasn’t a question).

  • Mandatory training can be brilliant. Even the driest, most compliance-heavy topics can be designed to be clear, compelling, and genuinely useful.

    Clicktopia just pokes fun at how often we settle for shallow design that treats people like boxes to be ticked, then wonder why no one changes a thing.

  • Not at all. eLearning can be amazing — especially for scaling, consistency, and reporting. It can reach people across countries and time zones without anyone booking a single meeting room.

    The problem isn’t the modality. It’s the lazy design. Bad learning is bad learning whether it’s online, in a training room, or acted out by interpretive dancers in the office lobby.
