Values At Play is a web site and research project to encourage the design of social values in computer games. The site has curricular materials, example games that registered users can download and research resources. It is led by Dr. Mary Flanagan of the Tiltfactor game research lab at Hunter College, and Dr. Helen Nissenbaum at NYU.
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.
