Who We Are and What We Do

AFK Studios is a rapid prototyping and development studio for Serious Games – games meant to be more than simply entertaining. While we do have a few independent projects of our own, we primarily work with clients seeking to use games for the greater good, leveraging our expertise in design, psychology, health, and more to create interventions that work. Working mostly non-profits such as the MacArthur Foundation, the University of Pennsylvania, and other foundations, universities, and charities, we help translate great ideas into practical change.

Have a project you want us to work on? Contact us today!

Our Philosophy

We believe that games can be more than just entertainment – that they can be powerful avenues for engagement and learning – but we believe games should always be fun. We believe in the power of narrative to transform the world for the better, tapping into the stories of our lives and the myths we all share. We believe in the power of communities – that online or off, it is people coming together that makes a difference in the world.

We are AFK Studios, and we seek to change the world through games.
