About the Gameathon

Roll7 will be holding a 24-hour Game-a-thon 🎮 on Tuesday 26th September to raise money for our charity of the year, Special Effect.

We’ll be sleeping over at the T2 Office ⛺ in London, and playing a full 24 hours of video games with the goal of raising £1,000 to help support the amazing work that Special Effect do right here in the UK and across the world.

It’s a cause that the team are very passionate about, and any amount of money, however small, would be deeply appreciated by us all. 🙏

About Special Effect

“We’re transforming the lives of people with physical challenges right across the world through the innovative use of technology. At the core of this mission is our work to optimise inclusion, enjoyment and quality of life by helping people control video games to the best of their abilities for as long as they need us.

Our team of occupational therapists and gaming specialists in the UK create bespoke control setups for hundreds of individuals each year, while our R&D team use what we learn in the field to develop freely-available resources and solutions to help level the playing field for gamers with physical challenges all over the world.

This mission of inclusion extends beyond gaming, whether that’s by using eye-gaze technology to bring communication, independence and hope for people in intensive care units with a severe injury or illness, or by using telepresent robots to reconnect medically isolated children with their education and friends. Whatever we do, we’re committed to making life better for the people that need us, for as long as possible.”
