Games for Education

Grantoo is a new app that allows students to play brand-sponsored games in order to win money for their education and a charity of their choice.

Students can play for free and are asked to pick a philanthropy to contribute at least 10 percent of their winnings to.

The founders of the app figure that students were playing games as a distraction anyways, so they might as well do it for a beneficial cause. The games include Wordy Bird, Grantoo Hold’em and Quiz Night. Not only students benefit from this, but companies have a great opportunity to build brand image through this application.

I think this is a great idea, for every party involved (game, charity and student). If such a thing existed in the earlier days I would be playing the game, give to charity and paying for school...win, win, WIN!
