Our invention of ResearchGames™ and innovative use of Games for Research
has brought us hugely appreciated recognition

from frequent invitations to Keynote and contribute to journals, articles and books, and interviews with radio stations and newspapers, we’ve been happy to share our work all over the world.

Check out some of our press coverage and interviews below.

VideoGame website Game Skinny writes about us!

Game Skinny, a website home to the latest news in the games industry, blogs and reviews,  is one of our faves here at RTG as a go-to place for us to check out the latest titles. It’s a site written by players, for players, and saw a $2m investment to expand it’s already-popular website. Imagine our excitement then when we found that we were the subject of one of their articles!

One of the main contributors to the site, H.C. Billings, took part in one of the ResearchGames™ we created for the Campbell’s Soup company (which then resulted in the new Campbell’s Go product, which you may have heard of). GameSkinny writes: “The way I look at it, in a time of decreased attention span and a higher desire for reward, companies like Research Through Gaming are simply bringing slightly antiquated research techniques into the 21st century…I could not possibly be more thrilled to find similar game-based research opportunities in my email inbox in the future.”

Thank you GameSkinny for the fabulous review!
