Our Mission

We make cool games to help charities. You buy our games. We donate money. Everyone wins.

Game Dev

We are gamers that want to help people. We built our company around the mission to use mobile gaming to connect people with causes in a fun and entertaining way.

Charities

We choose very specific charities. They must provide a tangible good that is measurable. That way, every dollar we raise is for something we can touch.

You

By purchasing our game, you contribute. We take 50% of our proceeds from sales and in-game purchases and donate them to our partner charities for tangible goods that change lives.

Change

This is the part we love. We are using mobile entertainment to help affect global change. And so are you. Together we can change the world.

About GGI
