C’Elysium Board Game Launches as a Playbook for Generating Creative Ideas
New Board Game Inspired by the Caligomos Art Philosophy Blends Art, Philosophy, and Innovation for Creative Thinkers Worldwide
Gananoque, Ontario — Artist and theorist John H. R. Woo, founder of the Caligomos Art Philosophy (C’ArtP) and author of The Book of Caligomos Art, announces the release of C’Elysium Board Game: A Playbook for Generating Creative Ideas — an innovative thinking tool that transforms abstract concepts into playful collaboration and creative insight.
Developed as an extension of the Caligomos Art framework, C’Elysium reimagines the creative process as an interactive journey through Transcendence, Paradigm, and Reality — the three Grand Categories that define Woo’s philosophy. Players explore 48 idea combinations, symbolic “Singularities,” and dynamic challenges that mirror the human creative cycle: from inspiration to realization.
“C’Elysium was designed to make the invisible process of creativity visible, tangible, and shareable,” says John H. R. Woo, creator of the Caligomos Art Philosophy. “It’s more than a game — it’s a way to discover the power of ideas through structured play and philosophical reflection.”
A Bridge Between Art and Innovation
C’Elysium merges art-based inquiry with contemporary methods of ideation and design thinking. Each session unfolds as a “LifeQuest,” where participants move across conceptual territories represented by geometric shapes and symbolic tokens. Through prompts, dialogue, and strategy, players generate and refine original ideas within collaborative teams.
The board game encourages interdisciplinary creativity, making it ideal for artists, educators, entrepreneurs, and teams engaged in innovation. Its design draws from the metaphoric principles of the Caligomos system — integrating Circle (Transcendence), Triangle (Paradigm), and Square (Reality) — and emphasizes the role of balance, dialogue, and imagination in problem-solving.
Educational and Professional Applications
Beyond traditional gameplay, C’Elysium functions as a creative facilitation toolkit. Its modular “Idea Log,” “Cluster Tokens,” and “Binary Cards” can be adapted for:
- Brainstorming and design workshops
- Classroom creativity and critical-thinking exercises
- Strategic innovation sessions in art, design, and education
The game’s structure draws from cognitive mapping, philosophical reasoning, and visual learning theory — encouraging players to transform complexity into coherence through dialogue and imagination.
Availability and Launch Events
C’Elysium Board Game will debut at the Woo Art Show 2025 in Gananoque, Ontario, alongside the presentation of The Book of Caligomos Art. Demonstrations, workshops, and limited edition sets will be available for visitors.
The game will also be distributed through WooArt.ca and select creative learning platforms starting November 2025.

About WOO ART STUDIO:
Woo Art Studio is an experimental art initiative by John HR Woo. He was a Dean of the School of Art and Design at the Seoul National University of Technology, South Korea, and an Adjunct Professor at Carleton University, Canada. His principal areas of interest are Integral Art, Aesthetics of the Unity of Beauty, Truth, Good, and Art Consilience for Human Life. After working at the School of Art and Design in Seoul, he moved to Canada in 2008. Then, he changed his life to find the ultimate object in his inquiry into Art and human life.
Looking back at his work, I see he started in arts & crafts and design. Then, he concentrated on Fine Art in Canada. All his artwork is being developed in his studio in Gananoque, ON. He has been advancing his experimental artwork trials through research for over three decades. He has since expanded his primary interest in Integral Art, which transcends and includes all limited forms, interpretations, or perspectives. After groping in the dark for many years, he developed his theory on Art (CALIGOMOS ART), an endeavour to apply a new metaxy paradigm to the realization of Art.
