Jingle Jam 2020 to benefit Eye Gaze Games project

A huge thank you to the Yogscast for including us in the list of wonderful charities that are to benefit from this years’ Jingle Jam, the world’s biggest games charity event.

Starting on 1 December with the launch of the Jingle Jam 2020 Games Bundle, the Jingle Jam extends over two weeks. The 2020 Games Bundle is shaping up to be the best yet with over 40 games and in-game items, worth over $570/£430, and will be available exclusively through Tiltify. The final games lineup for the bundle will be revealed soon.

The money raised from Jingle Jam 2020 for SpecialEffect will fund the creation of two new games for our innovative EyeGaze Games project – a free-to-play, browser-based, eye-controlled suite of games designed to be accessible to severely disabled people all over the world.

The full list of supported charities are Access Sport, British Games Institute, Call of Duty Endowment, ILGA, Mental Health Foundation,  One25, Open Bionics, Safe In Our World,  The Grand Appeal,  War Child, WDC, Whale and Dolphin Conservation and SpecialEffect.

We’re once again incredibly grateful to the Yogscast and everyone involved with the Jingle Jam for their help over many years. Their support has enabled many people like Becky (below) to enjoy the inclusivity and fun of video games.
