For a few months now, we’ve implemented a #VTO - Voluntary Time Off - program. Employees can take up to 2 days to give back to a charity of their choice as an individual, or with their team. Whether it’s to help a national or local cause, a sporting association, a pet refuge, or, like Jo Shapley here, helping to get rid of invasive species along a riverbank. The scheme is open to our employees worldwide, and we heartily encourage them to support the charity of their choice!

New #GameInLab research on Hybrid Digital Game!   Dr. Melissa Rogerson recently presented insights from her research on "Hybrid Digital Boardgames." 🎮📚 This research is part of Asmodee's Game In Lab program which has successfully funded over 25 #boardgames research projects globally, demonstrating the substantial societal benefits of games.   ➡ Her findings reveal that “storytelling” is the most prevalent function in over 140 games evaluated by BoardGameGeek, including more than 30 titles from Unlock, the popular cooperative escape-room games developed by Space Cowboys, an Asmodee studio.   📽️ Watch the highlights and the full event video here: https://lnkd.in/eEUkKgmx    Dr. Rogerson's grants from Game In Lab have led to Australian government funding for three PhD fellows, which we find pretty amazing!🎓 ➡ To find out more about Games In Lab: https://lnkd.in/dYYhxc72

Congrats to Space Cow, an Asmodee studio, for receiving awards at the FLIP - Festival Ludique International de Parthenay (FLIP).  🏆 👻Mysterium Kids, a game from Yves Hirschfeld Yves and Antonin Boccara, with enchanting illustrations by Olivier Danchin and created in collaboration with LIBELLUD  and 🐰 Chou y es-tu, designed by Xavier Violeau and illustrated by Seppyo (Mélanie) Bardin both received EDUCAFLIP 2024 trophies! These trophies are awarded to games that have a significant educational potential and can be played in both school and home settings by elementary school children. Fun fact: Space Cow tests their games in schools and kindergartens. At Asmodee, we place the players at the heart of the creative process, believing games can have a societal impact, specifically kids’ games are a fantastic tool for developing new skills and learning while having fun with friends, parents, or classmates. 🚀 Having these 2 games awarded is a great recognition by the jury made of sector professionals, educators and teachers to our dedicated team of Space Cow creating fantastic games for our little Earthlings.

#GameInLab our research program led by our CSR team is contributing to the recognition and visibility of board games in our goal to bring people together. Earlier this year, our very own Dr Léa Martinez, PhD published her thesis “Effects of playing board games on cognitive functioning: from adolescence to adulthood” where more details can be found here: https://lnkd.in/e442DMa9. She even went the extra mile summarizing it in 3 minutes for everyone to get the gist of it https://bit.ly/4ewPtGU earning her accolades from various committees. We are thrilled to see researchers supported by Asmodee Game In Lab receiving such recognition. By the way, our call for projects is still up until early September https://lnkd.in/eE7v-suZ
