Why Games?
Games are the most popular form of entertainment worldwide. Humans spend tens of billions a year on games, and play games billions of hours every WEEK.
The interactive nature of games makes them the ideal media for engaging and connecting your audience. More effective than print or video.
Games can be powerful tools for social change. The best games excel at:
- motivating players to work together towards a larger cause (e.g. working with your guild to slay a dragon in World of Warcraft)
- compelling players to take repeated action over a long period of time (e.g. maintaining your crops in Farmville)
- getting players to feel like they’re part of something larger than themselves (e.g. saving the universe in Mass Effect 3).
We’ve found that charitable organizations want the same qualities from their supporters. They want people to form a community around their causes, to stick with them over a long period of time, and to believe that they can change the world. Game It Forward is focused on harnessing those powers toward achieving real-world, meaningful goals for our partner organizations.
Why Game It Forward?
Our team has decades of experience with game design and development. We’ve done work for some of the biggest organizations in the game industry (Microsoft, EA, Hasbro, Activision). Now we’re turning our knowledge and passion toward building games that will change the world.
