Monument Valley 3, the latest installment in ustwo's acclaimed series of narrative puzzlers, has announced a heartwarming initiative to allocate 3% of its profits to charity over the next three years. These funds will be directed to the IFRC (International Federation of Red Cross & Red Crescent Societies) and specifically their Disaster Response Emergency Fund, showcasing ustwo's commitment to social impact.
This move aligns well with ustwo's status as the first B-corp game studio, a certification that highlights companies excelling in social and environmental performance, essentially "business for good." Given the extensive reach of Monument Valley 3 through Netflix Games, this initiative could have a significant impact.
Ustwo's history of charitable engagement is evident in their previous works, such as Alba: A Wildlife Adventure, which emphasized environmental and social themes. Additionally, they have partnered with several UK-based youth charities during the launch of Desta: The Memories Between.
**A Little Bit on the Side**
Monument Valley 3 has received widespread acclaim, including our own five-star review. However, the absence of fees or in-app purchases on Netflix Games raises questions about the source of the charitable funds. If the money is coming directly from ustwo, it underscores their noble dedication. Moreover, ustwo's efforts to solicit additional donations for the IFRC and other organizations will undoubtedly provide much-needed support to these groups.
