Summary:In this paper, the design processes of five games, simulations, and interactive art installations involving quantum physics is reported and reflected. These projects were developed between 2019 and 2022 and include smaller game jam projects and longer-term collaborations with a professional game company. The design reflections explore the issues that can influence the success of serious and applied games, as well as art pieces used in science communication, research, or educational roles. Based on these experiences, it is evident that design constraints, design values, effective communication, and the valuation of each other's expertise are at the center of successful quantum game development.
