Impact Games
Impact Games is an innovation platform for game development and use of games, gamification and new technologies for positive social impact. We believe that games and new technologies present one of the most efficient ways of achieving positive social impact through education.
Games
At Impact Games, we believe that the 21st century is a century of games. We believe that through our games we can promote freedom, equal opportunities, inclusion, understanding or peace and relaxation.
Education
Games have huge potential for teaching us necessary skills to thrive in the current ever-changing environment. Whether it is through formal, non-formal or informal education of children, young people or adults.
Behavior change
Games have a large potential to facilitate positive behavior change on the level of individuals, as well as groups of people.
