What is AOK?

It's a new kind of kind!

Map_pin_orange

AOK is a "social game for good," recognizing and inspiring a new kind of kind, where players share, and become aware of, Acts and Observations of Kindness (or, "AOKs").

Players can then donate their points to real world causes, while also leveling up within the AOK community.

Your AOK Points in Action

What can you do with the points you're racking up by playing AOK?

Ww

Let's make 2012 the year we all improve our relationship with food! Your January AOK points will help Wholesome Wave support local farmers and farmers markets working to improve healthy food access to communities in need. Your AOK points will not only help support local agriculture but it could also help prevent obesity and diet related diseases that affect millions of under-served people across the nation. This month, we're making a *FoodResolution worth keeping!

What is a "Social Game for Social Good?"

Jane McGonigal talks about the power of play at TED 2010

Watch Jane McGonigal talk to the TED Conference about how games like AOK are harnessing the skills, energy, and enthusiasm of millions of gamers, improving everyone's reality.

AOK was designed by the amazing game design firm, Natron Baxter, Jane's partners in crime at Gameful.org. Their 'Games for Good' community features many other cool games that are causing a radical impact in the real world.
