GamesCom is almost here! Come and chill and play in the joyful calm of our huge Family Gaming Room we are running at GamesCom (Hall 10.2 C030). Discover how we help millions of families discover amazing games to play. DM me to book a slot for a chat!

LAST CALL FOR INDIE GAMES! Tomorrow I will finalise the games we will show off on our huge Family Gaming Zone booth at GamesCom and PAX West. Shout now if you have a suggestion or have made a great game for families.

Maybe that's a good idea. Was thinking it would be good to have an adjusted logo.

I question my decisions. Last year this was me on the Race to The Stones 100K. Looks considerably hotter this year. Fear not, every sponsorship keeps me cool. 🙏🏃🙌🔥 events.parkinsons.org.uk/fundraisers/...

Eeek! Excited and flattered to be invited to speak at the next APPG cross-party group of MPs focused on Play. I'll be bringing an overview of digital play and family gaming, including reflections from my forthcoming book on Digital Play. What points would you make?

OK here we go again. It's been a year. I'm attempting to run 100miles to raise money for @parkinsons.org.uk. Would love a share. events.parkinsons.org.uk/fundraisers/...

Everyone who signs our guest book in our Family Gaming Zone at London ComicCon gets a free book!

We had an amazing first day at @mcmcomiccon.bsky.social. 100s of families visited our Family Gaming Zone to find new games to play. Rounds was a big hit, along with favourites like Boomerang Fu and Towerfall. Come say hi tomorrow?!

All set up for London ComicCon. 100s of great little (and not so little) video games for families to discover on our stand. Loads of indies. Still time if you have a Switch or PlayStation game we could show off. Game list: www.familygamingdatabase.com/en-gb/Family...

Can you help? I'm looking for families based in or near Cologne to help us run our first Family Gaming Zone at GamesCom (26-30th August). Come and join our team? Do share and message me if you think you can help.

Anyone else at @gamesforchange.bsky.social London tomorrow? I'm around from this afternoon until Thursday and would love to connect. I'm the one in the photo. Find me for a free copy of my book.

Turning up to say (for reasons not entirely clear on but I suspect relate to an estranged father and precarious mother) I find birthdays excruciatingly difficult. If that's you too, that's okay and normal and human.

Nintendo keen to get in on the birthday wishes.

Excited to be speaking at Games For Change next week. #G4CLondon26 Details here: games.london/G4Clondon/

Here's what it's like to walk into our FamilyGamingRoom at @officialpax.bsky.social. 100's of curated games by age group: 3-6 years, 7-9 years and 10-14 years. Game finder, accessible controllers, parental controls and experts on hand to help! Let us know if you want to join our amazing supporters!

Day three was BUSY at @officialpax.bsky.social. We had some amazing intergenerational interfamilial Boomerang Fu and Towerfall. Last day tomorrow. We are tired but can't wait!

Busy second day at @officialpax.bsky.social with lots more families taking time to play together and discover new games to enjoy. Come and find your perfect family game.

@writnelson.bsky.social thanks for the code for our Family Gaming Room.

What a great first day @officialpax.bsky.social with loads of parents and kids finding new games to play in our Family Gaming Room. Lovely to see families playing together. Come say hello if you are at PAX East.

Long day setting up Family Gaming Room for @officialpax.bsky.social will all be worth it when the parents and kids flock in tomorrow. See you there?

Book hunt! Someone spotted my book in Asda. I didn’t think it made it to stores when Unbound went bust. If anyone can spot a copy in a local Asda I send you a free signed copy. (Yes it looks like a plant but how would that happen?) Thanks!

Wonderful time hearing Peter Gray talk at Playwork Conference, followed by long chats during walks on the beech. Learned so much and felt supported in my direction of travel with digital play advice.

Playing this connects to parts of me I used to engage with in church. All stand as we play game number 251.
