  17. Consider this: • FreeRice was created by John Breen, who started it to help his teenage sons prepare for their exams. This game had no official marketing campaign and was created at no cost to the UN World Food Programme (WFP). Breen donated the website to WFP in 2009.

  18. Consider this: • An American not for profit, Game for Change, offers workshops on making “social impact games” at their annual festival.
