Secular Sabbath is run by Adrian Hon, co-founder of online games company Six to Start and founder of the Let’s Change the Game charity. Before becoming a games designer, Adrian studied neuroscience at Cambridge University and Oxford University. He doesn’t have as many secular sabbaths as he’d like to, but he always looks forward to them.

Secular Sabbath was first announced at the GeeKyoto event in London, May 2008, during a talk presented by Adrian Hon and Naomi Alderman.
