Exploring Play with Purpose at the Serious Play Conference 2025

At the Serious Play Conference, educators, developers, and innovators come together to explore how games can be used to teach, train, and transform. From healthcare simulations to empathy-building experiences, the event showcases how interactive media can change minds and make a meaningful impact.

Our sponsorship of Serious Play reflects a shared belief: games aren’t just entertainment — they’re powerful tools for learning, empathy, and social change. The conference’s focus on “games that do good” connects with Shine A Light Gaming’s vision of using play as a force for connection rather than division.

By supporting Serious Play, we’re helping to spotlight creators who see the potential in gaming to solve real-world challenges and strengthen communities. Together, we’re proving that thoughtful design can spark understanding, bridge divides, and model what healthy, inclusive gaming can look like.
