Games for Good

Helping people with intellectual disability stay safe and have fun online.

 

We are working to make the internet a safer and friendlier place for everyone through a new program called ‘Games for Good’.

We want to help people with intellectual disability use the internet more safely and confidently.

We will create fun games and use stories so people can learn how to make safer online friendships, shop and manage money online and use the internet with more confidence.

We will also support disability support workers, carers, families and teachers so they can better support others. 
 
We are making this program with people with disability for people with disability.
 
That’s why we will:
  • Listen to people with intellectual disability
  • Test games to make sure they are fun and helpful
  • Make learning materials easy to understand

This program is made possible with support from Google.org

Why this matters

For some people with intellectual disability, the digital world can feel like a locked door. Our goal is to provide the key.

  • The digital world is essential for independence but many are left behind.
  • Games provide a safe, engaging, and accessible way to build real world digital skills.
  • By co-designing with the community, we ensure learning is meaningful, empowering, and fun.

We’re not just building a game, we’re creating a digital learning experience that equips people with the skills and confidence to navigate life online.
