Connecting people and ideas
Maximize your potential
Focusing on ideas, innovation and co-creation, we aim to recognize each individual's unique mindset and explore the possibilities that emerge from it.
Message from P-Lab
P-Lab aims to maximize people's potential and create a better future. We help individuals and organizations explore their challenges and possibilities through our innovative tool, "Possible World," and create new perspectives and solutions. Possible World is a simulation game that mimics the real world. Participants can experience various roles in a pseudo-world and freely try out ideas. Through this process, we can expect various effects such as strengthening teamwork, creative problem solving, and discovering potential. We use Possible World in a wide range of fields, including corporate training, education, and regional revitalization. We support the growth and change of each participant by providing sessions customized to their needs. P-Lab believes in the potential of Possible World and its mission is to deliver this experience to more people. Join us and open the door to the future.
P-Lab | About Us
P-Lab is a platform that believes in the potential that everyone has and co-creates the future.
We value innovation, co-creation and individual mindsets.
By maximizing people's hidden potential, we will create a richer future.
POINT1
Why a simulation game?
By experiencing a simulation of the real world, we can gain an objective perspective and face ourselves. The realizations we gain through the "experience" of gaming go beyond our intellectual understanding and are imprinted deeply in each individual's heart.
The realizations gained in this way allow you to reinterpret various phenomena as something that concerns you personally, bringing about changes in your work and daily life. This chain of changes then becomes the force that will lead the real world in a better direction.
POINT 2
Learning and training process
By repeatedly looking back on the experiences you have had in games from multiple perspectives, you will develop deeper realizations. Through game experiences that stimulate the five senses and through dialogue, you will delve deeper into your inner self and gain a clear understanding of what is happening within you.
The answers you find through this process are yours alone. They are not tied to someone else's correct answers, but are deeply internalized as true understanding born from your own experiences.
POINT3
P-Lab
P-Lab starts with believing in the potential of each individual. We support each individual to find answers that they can accept and take action, without being trapped by preconceived notions or stereotypes.

About P-Lab's Initiatives
世界の変容は、義務感からではなくきっと「遊び心」から。SDGsゲームから10年、禅とテクノロジーが行き着いた場所。
2015年、国連は「我々の世界を変革する」というアジェンダを掲げました。しかし、そこには世界目標（What）と個人の動機（Why）をつなぐ、決定的な橋が欠けていました。
「世界のありようは、私たち一人ひとりのありようである」。 この真理を知識ではなく「体験」として腑に落とすために生まれたシミュレーションは、2016年の誕生から奇しくも今年で10年目を迎えます。
パンデミックを経てP-Labが継承した『Possible World』が目指すのは、対面とオンライン、禅の精神性とテクノロジーを融合させた、次世代の学びの形です。言葉では伝えきれない「不立文字」の世界で、重苦しい義務感（Must）を、未来への遊び心（Possibility）へと変えていく。
真の変容は、きっと真剣な「遊び」の中から生まれる――その10年の軌跡と、私たちが辿り着いた哲学について。
私たちは「Possibees（ポッシビーズ）」。新しいアイコンと名前に込めた、可能性の物語。
Possible Worldを体験し、共に旅をする仲間を、親愛を込めて「Possibees（ポッシビーズ）」と呼ぶことに決めました。この名前は「可能性（Possible）」と「ミツバチ（Bees）」を掛け合わせたもの。ミツバチが受粉を通じて生態系を育むように、一人ひとりが自律して気づきを広げ、世界に貢献していく姿を象徴しています。アイコンはデザイナーとの「共創」により誕生しました。羽根に隠された「無限大（$\infty$）」の記号には、個々の可能性が繋がり、未来がどこまでも広がることへの願いが込められています。「私たちが導く」のではなく、「可能性に目覚めた皆さんと共に歩みたい」。そんな私たちの哲学とデザインの物語を綴ります。
共通言語は本当に共通か？――ITと多文化のあいだで考える“世界を学ぶ”ということ
IT教育の現場では、世界を「閉じた系」として捉える傾向が強くあるそうです。
入力と出力、要件と制約、効率と最適化。
定義できる範囲の中で正確に動かすことが、美徳として身についている。
しかし、社会課題の領域に足を踏み入れると、その前提は容易に崩れます。
現実の世界は、明確な境界線を持たず、変数は常に動き、答えが一つに定まりません。
ここで必要とされるのは、「閉じた系」ではなく、「開いた系」の思考です。
「迷惑をかけない」ことと「波を立てない」ことは、同じ意味なのだろうか
2025年9月28日に開催されたポッシブルワールドのゲームホストによる「夏の終わりのまなびらき」
トップバッターを務めたセカン！さんは「子ども向けの本気 Possible World」というテーマで、10歳から18歳を対象にしたセッションプランをシェア
テーマは、「影響」と「責任」子どもたちが世界とつながる感覚を、体験を通じてつかむ時間でした
