Reka Nadai
Strength trainer, creative professional
I feel lucky because playfulness is the central element of my life, which is my job, profession and hobby at the same time. In recent years, I have participated in many exciting, creative projects as a strength-focused trainer with a strength-centered approach and expertise.
“For me, gaming is not just entertainment, it is a way of life, a tool, and a profession.”
What should we play? – Inspiration and knowledge from the realm of modern board games
After more than 50,000 followers of the “What Should We Play?” vlog, the knowledge we have gathered about modern board games over the past few years has arrived in book form. In this book, I will help you navigate the vast selection, choose a game for family evenings, friends' gatherings or even for developmental purposes. Through our personal stories and practical tips, we will show you how playing board games can become a stress reliever, a relationship builder – and even a way of life.

About me
In recent years, I have participated in numerous inspiring projects, where I worked with gamification, presentations, group trainings, and attitude shaping - whether it was leadership development, team dynamics, or playful, self-awareness topics.
In my work, I work with a broad and diverse set of coaching tools, and I consider it important to have a non-judgmental, focused presence, which allows me to work with my clients in a relaxed atmosphere and in an honest, supportive environment.
Professional collaborations & media appearances
“I believe that all change can begin playfully. In my motivational speeches, I convey this message: development can be enjoyable, self-knowledge can be fun, and challenges can be answered in a light yet profound way.”
I aim my presentations at participants who:
- are open to an interactive, playful approach,
- they want to develop and are looking for inspiration to do so
- and they crave the momentum that drives them to action.
I've been standing here on stage so far
I tailor every presentation, training program, project, and training process to the individual and group, so I am happy to work with unique topics.

HRPWR presentation: Hybrid is the new everyday
Organized by Üzlet és Pszichológia, HRPWR and Kreatív.hu, we were able to hear the thoughts of 12 relevant and outstanding professional speakers at the Nagy Employer Branding Nap online conference this year. We were very proud to have [eureka] Consulting's lead trainer, Réka Győri-Nádai, among them, who came with her presentation on "hybrid working", including attitude-shaping, practical tips and a 5-point checklist to increase efficiency.
They paid ten thousand forints for their first partner, now they live off playing
Réka Győri-Nádai and Zoltán Győri's apartment is such that you want to be a child and grow up with them. In the living room, where elsewhere there is a bookshelf covering an entire wall, there are all kinds of games, logic, strategy and party games. Confrontational, competitive, cooperative, conversational board games, for young and old, adults, for two- and multi-player teams. In the drawers are hidden the plans, sketches and prototypes of Zoli's own developed games - this year alone, seven of her board games have been released on the market. Among them is one that is a rarity on the Hungarian market: a sex education adult party game.
Réka Nádai revealed what leads to a successful business
Réka Nádai, founder of the What Should We Play? vlog, was the first guest on the National Innovation Agency's new podcast, KOCKA. Réka Nádai talked about what it's like as a woman to build a business from scratch and then let go of her own brand after ten years. The founder of Mit Játsszunk? still feels social prejudice and double standards against women in Hungary.
"Playing is sexy" - Réka Győri-Nádai, mompreneur of the year, who also suits hip-hop
Réka Győri-Nádai is a creative professional, theater director, and game trainer who won the title of Mompreneur of the Year in the www.work.buzz. vote. Moreover, she achieved all this by literally playing, as she works with board games together with her husband: they test, make recommendations, vlog, and build a community.
Instead of panicking, I'm playing - let's socialize during quarantine!
Let's play alone, together, or even with our grandmother over the phone, the point is to bring some experience into the confinement. Playing board games during quarantine is also useful, among other things, because we can feel that we finally have an impact on things and are not just drifting with the flow. In addition, we can strengthen our family and friend relationships in the process.
