Persuasive Games - We design, build, and distribute videogames for persuasion, instruction, and activism.

Games communicate differently than other media; they not only deliver messages, but also simulate experiences. Our games influence players to take action through gameplay. While often thought to be just a leisure activity, games can also become rhetorical tools.
