Year after year @nowplaythese showcases some really amazing games by some very talented artists.. #Dobotone by @Videogamo was definitely one of the best this year!

Sad to hear of the death of Stephen Hawking. His absence will no doubt be felt across the world, and particularly in the world of science. #RIPStephenHawking

Two #Octemo's were given out yesterday to #autisticparents for their kids. Time to play the waiting game as they keep them for a month and see how it goes. So excited to see the results! DM if you are a parent/tutor/school teacher and want to try 1 #research #sensorytoys #Autism

Visited the #ToyFair2018 today! Overwhelmed by how much there is to know about about bringing a toy to market! Information overload but found out about incredibly useful stuff and met some awesome people! Thank you @Intertek and all others!

We've got an open call out for games that might fit at next year's Now Play This - if you have something, please send it to us! (Particularly anything about places, patterns, the process of game-making.)

"It is really encouraging to see someone invest their time and money into a product that could really change the lives of ASD children and other SEN kids."
Such encouraging words from testers of Octemo ❤️ #DesignWithPurpose #ASD #SEN

Please use the link to create avatars with, and of, all the children you hope to test Octemo with so we can send the accompanying cards too!
