World’s largest mobile gaming releases in aid of children affected by war

For the mobile Armistice; phenomenal game titles, Dragon City, DomiNations, Royal Revolt 2, War Wings, Brave Cross, The Respawnables, Dawn of Titans, March of Empires, War Planet Online: Global Conquest, Total War Battles: Kingdom and 99 Bricks: Wizard Academy, have all created exclusive challenges, peace items and in-app purchase sales - creating the world’s largest mobile gaming movement in support of children affected by war.


Adam Holmes, Gaming Partnerships Executive at War Child UK, says: “The mobile gaming industry is worth over $40 billion while the movie industry is estimated at around $35 billion. It’s incredibly exciting to think what an industry of this size and scale can achieve as a force for good to support some of the world’s most vulnerable children.



“We can’t wait to try all the amazing activations and I’d like to take this opportunity to thank all our gaming partners and their communities for coming together to support War Child’s Armistice.”

Guillaume Verlinden, Vice-President of Product at Social Point says: “We know our players are going to love participating in the Peace Dragon breeding event and we’re truly excited to give them access to new and exclusive content whilst raising funds for children forced to live with the brutality of war.

“We want to encourage others in the industry to back the initiative and help support War Child to deliver its life changing work to children and their families.”

Xavier Carrillo-Costa, CEO of Digital Legends Entertainment says: “We believe in the values behind War Child’s Armistice campaign and in raising awareness of the consequences of war on children.

War Child’s Armistice is supported by gamers and gaming communities all over the world. The initiative aims to build on the £100,000 raised last year and create a global movement that inspires the gaming community to take action.

War Child is striving for a world where children’s lives are no longer torn apart by war.

We protect, educate and stand up for the rights of children caught up in conflict. We aim to reach children as early as possible when conflict breaks out, and stay to support them through their recovery - helping to keep them safe, give them an education, and equip them with skills for the future.

We understand children’s needs, respect their rights, and put them at the centre of the solution - from supporting Syrian children to access education, to reintegrating child soldiers in the Central African Republic and promoting justice for young people in detention in Afghanistan. Together with our partners we work in 15 countries across Africa, Asia and the Middle East, and Latin America.

We also work with children and young people to change systems and practices that affect them – campaigning on the root causes of conflict and demanding that children are at the centre of humanitarian response.
