Our first Games for Good project is Patient Pals, a virtual world for children with medical conditions. It is a social platform for children receiving home care, providing them with a safe and interactive digital environment. By creating a gated community for these children, we aim to enhance their well-being, increase social interactions, and strengthen family engagement.

We call these cordoned areas gated communities. These areas are tailored to meet the needs of specific groups and are accessible only to users invited to the project.
Our first product, Friendbase Virtual World, is a virtual environment where children and young people from all around the world can meet, make new friends, chat, play games, and gain new knowledge. It is currently available on Android and iOS.
