The Thematic Pantry is a creative toolkit to help you learn about the Thematic Analysis process. It explores patterns of meaning within data and has been designed to give a ‘taste’ of the Thematic Analysis process rather than a comprehensive understanding of the method. The game is a visual and physical representation of the Thematic Analysis process.

What is the Thematic Pantry?
The Thematic Pantry is a toolkit used to simplify the process of Thematic Analysis through the analogy of preparing a meal. The toolkit takes players through the steps of the Braun-Clarke Thematic Analysis, where data is represented as ‘ingredients’ and themes are represented as ‘dishes’. The tactility of the Thematic Pantry encourages players to move ingredients around, emphasising the multiplicity in the way data can be coded and grouped. The universal language of food makes for an accessible and fun activity that reframes Thematic Analysis.

How it works
The Thematic Pantry is best played in a group of 4 people, but can be done in groups of 2-6. To begin, participants roll the 34 ingredient dice, then begin the process of note-taking characteristics and familiarising themselves with the array of ingredients that have been generated. A step-by-step instruction leaflet guides participants through each stage of the process, prompting them to analyse, arrange, and rearrange their ingredients to make the best meal.
