Impact Games

Impact Games is a world renowned pioneer in creating compelling interactive experiences around current events. Our aim is to partner with and enable organizations to change the way people consume information and understand the world around them.

ImpactGames was founded in 2006 by Asi Burak and Eric Brown while attending Carnegie Mellon University’s Entertainment Technology Center. The company was founded to continue the product, platform, and mission relating to their teams’ graduate school work on the PeaceMaker game. The company went on to create Play the News, another award-winning platform. In 2010 the assets and naming rights to the company were acquired by Hybrid Learning Systems. Eric Brown joined the Hybrid Learning Systems’ team as President to continue on the mission of the company while Asi Burak went on to become Co-Director of one of our favorite organizations, Games for Change.
