Our ambition is to harness the power of video games in the service of humanistic principles, or human values, knowing that their work can have a tremendous and wide-ranging impact on our world. The Values at Play (VAP) research project assists and encourages designers to create computer games that identify and promote human values.

With generous funding from the National Science Foundation.
