Our Mission

New gamers are overwhelmed with choices, and there is no single resource to help them discover games that are right for them and their current situation. Activision would like to see how an interactive experience might get new gamers acquainted and integrated into the gaming community.

Create a proficiency-focused app experience to inform new gamers about video games based on age-appropriateness and skills such as reading, hand-eye coordination, fitness, personal account- ability, multi-tasking, problem-solving, memory, attention, concentration, social skills and more.

Choose Your Target User From:

Young kids learn and share new discoveries with their friends
Parents find age-appropriate skills and games for their children
Adults discover games that fit their interests and time allotted
Senior citizens identify games to connect to friends and family
