The visionaries behind the Boulderball

The symbiosis of long-standing friendship and shared interests gave birth to the captivating world of Boulderball, crafted by the creative minds of Joachim and Dieter.

Joachim, a true juggler of ideas since childhood, flirted with the notion of a game that would challenge not only the fingers but also the mind and sharpen the senses. This vision he shared with Dieter, an enthusiast with profound expertise and technical know-how. Dieter not only gave tangible form to the idea but also skillfully connected it to real sports like climbing and bouldering. Thus, Boulderball was born, and thanks to the aesthetic signature of designer Martin, it evolved into a visual masterpiece.

Joachim, the expert in mental and cognitive enhancement, masters the game of Boulderball like no other. With unbridled creativity, he continuously designs new climbing routes and game ideas that challenge not only the body but also the mind.

Dieter, a sports scientist and avid climber, brings his extensive knowledge and comprehensive network to successfully produce Boulderball.

Through this unique combination of innovation, technical know-how, and athletic expertise, Joachim and Dieter have not only created a game and training device but a moving experience that blurs the boundaries between fun and sport.
