Our mission is to research and develop software and playful art that creates rewarding, compelling, and socially-responsible interactions, with a focus on innovative game design for social change. We recognize that play comes in many forms: competitive, subversive, embodied, exploratory and our work explores ways to use diverse design approaches to appeal to a wide range of players and learners. Were also interested in playculturehow play permeates everyday actions and routinesand we seek ways to infuse playfulness into common interactions. Our aim is to make effective innovations and interventions in thinking about how games, and software in general, can evolve to support social and educational principles for diverse audiences. We recognize that games, like all technologies, have unique strengths and weaknesses and much work is needed to understand how and where games can do the most good. We believe that a mix of rigorous research, sound scholarship, and creative practice can answer these questions.
