We had a great time @EGX running the @FamilyGamingDB Zone. 16000 parents and children came to play our 150 games over 4 days. So many lovely moments of families discovering games, talking about parental controls and playing together. Looking forward to next year and other events!

I worked with @PlayStation to create this advice on how to use the PS5 family settings for a summer video game health check. One of which is don't forget those great games you already have! https://t.co/yXHNAbBLk1

Of all the video game campaigns I've worked on, this #ParentPowerUps is my fav. Love how @1Judilove tells story of empowering parents, without finger-wagging & with expertise from Professor Tanya Byron. Do RT so families try the #PowerUpPact themselves: https://t.co/Cu5aefoLZq

Brilliant! @FamilyGamingDB accessiblity data now included in @NintendoLife reviews. Highlights not just options, but how well implemented they are. The partnership enables our consultants to cover more games. RT's appreciated for others wanting our API. https://t.co/vcbCeVzPnT

Love that Stray Gods has deeply considered accessibility. They did the @FamilyGamingDB accessibility questionnaire, which led directly to them doubling the largest size of their subtitles. Any other devs... would love to cover your game in our database. https://t.co/7Eq2j7SOYE

@DrKowert Thanks for sharing. The database has its own account now, over on @FamilyGamingDB. Fancy! :)

[Dr. Rachel Kowert @DrKowert]

Taming Gaming (@TamingGamingDB) is another great resource that provides information for parents by game and game genre. If you're looking to learn something about a specific game, or looking to find a game that your family may enjoy together, this is the resource for you.

Ok this is the big one! I'm attempting to run 105 miles (16,000ft climb) in a day to raise money for the amazing @EveryoneCanUK. I'm good at the running but not so much at the fundraising. Need your help to RT, share and if you can, donate. Go, Go, Go! https://t.co/s161StybCE

Our best kept secret. Gaming Pathways are interviews that get to the root of what gaming has brought to someone's life. For James, this was about nurturing his life's potential that unexpectedly helped him deal with a breakdown. https://t.co/Hd4OxQAte5

It's an honour and a pleasure to be recognised by @FamilyGamingDB for Mini Motorways and Mini Metro both - we love making games that people of all ages can enjoy together! 😊💕

My #GAAD2023 wish is for journalists to pause before writing or saying "such an accessible game" and consider if they mean "approachable".

[YMCA Exeter Gaming @YmcaExeterGames]

An introduction into the work of @askaboutgames and @TamingGamingDB - which has reminded me to look up a game I was asked about.

[Andy Robertson @GeekDadGamer]

Accessibility is a journey that's best started 2 years ago. Can't wait to talk about this and @FamilyGamingDB in my talk at #GAconf (2pm 25th April). In amongst so many other brilliant and fascinating speakers. We also have an exciting announcement. https://t.co/n9UNm57Ph6

Our @FamilyGamingDB researchers often suggest PEGI rating adjustments to @GamesRatingUK. Today, we queried if @DanielBen's Storyteller should be PEGI 16. After close inspection, they updated the rating to PEGI 7 with some really helpful/nuanced details. https://t.co/nAV5sF1yjg

Had a great day wrapping up this Therapeutically Useful Games resource on @FamilyGamingDB with @TylerBrinkman23. He's a brilliant Doctoral Occupational Therapy student at @UofStAug. (Thanks @KaitlynJones_ for connecting us). Do share this #Thread https://t.co/c68nyk86qK

What a great debate on @BBC5Live with @NickyAACampbell and some super guests bringing a wide range of views. Here's a little of my contribution. Would love to talk to any parents struggling, like Jack at the end of the show, as there are some simple game-changing tips.

[Andy Robertson @GeekDadGamer]

We asked UK and US parents visiting @FamilyGamingDB what they most wanted to avoid in games for their children. It offers some early data on the differences in concerns in UK and US families.
