Making a difference through play

Together we build a brighter future

This is more to us than just a slogan. We believe that our games have the power to drive meaningful change. Whether it’s creating educational tools for children in refugee camps, advancing scientific understanding, or partnering with organizations to tackle societal challenges, we’re committed to making an impact where it matters most.

That’s why over half of our annual revenue comes from projects tied to ESG goals. Together with our clients, we use play to spark learning, drive change, and help build a more hopeful, inclusive future.
