Superhero name: Buzz Light Giver
Superpower: Brings light to others to instantly lift their spirits. Interprets the woo-woo, bringing it down to earth in visual form!
Favourite way to play: Creating random antics, challenges, activities anywhere! I do also love any game that involves a ball!
Life long mission: I want to see everyone living their fun and embracing their freedom. I want to see a happier world. A world where everyone is accepted, is allowed to be themselves and is encouraged to shine. A world where no one hides away though fear, but where everyone steps up with curiosity and excitement for what could be. A place where the sun shines everyday and the language spoken is simple - it's one of love, appreciation and true connection to the amazing people around and this incredible playground that we call planet earth.

We appreciate the speed at which Amy takes on any new idea, project or game with a smile and laugh!
Louise Miller - Behind the scenes creativity controller! #it'sallabouttherules

Superhero name: Slowverine
Superpower: Ability to relieve stress and bring calm to anyone she meets.
Favourite way to play: I love to play with words and use my brain to quickly find solutions to challenges. Speed Scrabble is a regular in my house!
Life long mission: I am the anti-hustle heroine and I want to see an end to busyness as a badge of honour. I strongly believe that it’s unhealthy and unnecessary to cram every available moment with more doing. I help people get things done with less stress and more ease so you can create space for what’s important - to have fun, relax and spend time with loved ones without feeling guilty.

Lover of the detail and self confessed pinikity pants, Louise keeps us all in check and ensures everything is a smooth and easy ride for you! Her sense of humour and quick whit are second to none.

Superhero name: Samakigo
Superpower: Excites the world with her expansive vision for success in anything.
Favourite way to play: I'm a bit of a secret geek so do love to play with words and puzzles but I have also lately discovered the magic of Hide and Seek!
Life long mission: My ABSOLUTE passion is the Ripple Effect. How when one person does something, it affects another, which affects another and then another. Don’t come to me for the details, come to me for the BIG PICTURE and how it all works together. I am magic! And I help others believe the impossible is possible, that magic exists and that you can do anything you want to do. And it’s never as complicated as you think!

A creative genius and huge visionary Sam has adopted the role of Playcation's Producer bringing all of our magic to life.

We appreciate Sam's amazing smile and infectious radiance!
