We are a 501(c)3 nonprofit which performs scientific and psychological research into games and gaming. Not only video games, but card games, word games, puzzles - everything!
Games are important - all mammals play games! We believe games are a type of dream we experience when awake. In other words, games have meaning.
We're here to help you find and unpack that meaning. So join us... and game on!
We conduct scientific and psychological research in games and gaming.
You know, good ol' science! We study how games impact our personalities, relationships, and emotional health.
When are games good? When do they hurt? Join us to find out!
Good science is tough work - that's why we're here.
Not only do we perform studies, we're help to explain to everyone (that means you!) what we find, and what that means.
More importantly, we're here to help you use games to grow as a person!
We're active in developing tools to help identify the benefits (and avoid the negative pitfalls) that come from your gaming experience.
