ABOUT US - THE FOUNDERS Tracing the origins of Educe means going all the way back to the eighties, a time before the internet. There was no Facebook, Google or Pokémon Go. People still read books in libraries and Duran Duran and Lionel Richie ruled the charts.  Educe inventor and crossword nerd Rod Smith was working as a psychiatrist and spending many hours on the road. It was out on these lonely Australian highways, with only the trucks, utes and Combi vans for company, that the magic finally happened. Staring at number plates all day, Rod began playing with the letters to build words and phrases; CSG 007 to Crossing, ECT 525 to Electric. Rod imagined stealing words from other players to create more words – Electric turned to Electronic and Crossing became Crisscrossing – and he wondered how he might ‘defend’ his own words from potential word thieves. Rod dubbed his new creation, Highway Robbery and set about making a card game. But wasn’t until a New Year’s Eve dinner many years later, when the cards came out, the game was played and the people were happy, that a friend said, “You should make an app”. And just like that, the card game was reborn as Educe.
