The idea was created by Raoni Madalena and a group of friends. He brought this idea to the team of Fred Di Giacomo, who at the time produced a lot of newsgames for the Superinteressante website. Together they selected which philosophers would come into play, what their powers would be, and how their phases would be organized. Fred's work on this game was editing, game design and transmedia strategy
 

 

Filosofighters was a big hit, winning accolades around the world on sites like the English PC Gamer. He was also awarded "Best Use of Social Media" at the Abril Journalism Award, was a finalist in the "online game" category at BIG (Brazilian International Game) and was selected for the MIT _docubase
