THE TIME TRAVEL AGENCY

We help people build optimistic futures. 

The Time Travel Agency operates under the cover of a speculative design and innovation studio in the Nordics, the Americas, and online. 

Our studio is a response to hopelessness about the future. We aim to reach futures in which people possess agency and feel happy to be alive.
For organizations that need to survive, we help them to adapt.

Worldbuilding Collection I

Our most recent worldbuilding tools catalogue, developed between Sweden and California in 2023


Concerned with the question 'How does Worldbuilding fit in a process of adaptation?’ we looked into the worldbuilding that happens in our futuremaking.


Worldbuilding is a stage in our process that allows futures to be explored. We make worlds so our clients feel what it’s like to live in and affect those worlds– to feel agency.

What if the process of adaptation was pleasurable?
What if by stepping into a future world we felt good about where things are going?


Like open-heart surgery, making futures is invasive, yet our clients work from the assumption that their organization is going to make it.


These are our most recent worldbuilding tools, developed between Sweden and California for organizations envisioning how to move forward.


SPECULATIVE WIKI, a tool revolving around the exploration of hyperlinked text and fabulous stories about the organizations of our travelers. NARRATIVE SHAPE, a cherished worldbuilding tool that defies linearity and eschews traditional hero-centric narratives. ANTENNA, an interdimensional postal service provided by The Time Travel Agency that explores the uniqueness of writing a postcard.


AGENDAS, miniature time travel machines that allow intimate glimpses into the past or future. THE PLAY, a one-use, disappearing tool, akin to a fortune from Zoltar or a dissolvable tablet. CINEMATIC UNIVERSE, a map, a summary; the elements within a new and vast narrative landscape.
