Evidence-based education technology from FinlandGraphoGame traces its origins to decades spanning research on the early identification and prevention of dyslexia conducted in Finland. In the study researchers monitored two hundred children to find early-stage predictors of dyslexia. Based on the findings of 18 year long research project, GraphoGame was born.

The GraphoGame CompanyIn 2017 the GraphoGame company arose from the partnership between Finnish education technology company Learning Intelligence Group and University of Jyväskylä, the university behind the research. As a research spin-off company, the GraphoGame continues to develop and launch new evidence-based literacy games with its university collaborators around the world.

Our Mission and VisionThe world has millions of children whose learning stops in their tracks due to difficulties in reading. Now technology allows us to help solve this global challenge by bringing together universities, game developers and educators to develop fun — yet evidence-based — literacy apps for teachers and parents around the world. 1 in 5 people cannot read, let's put an end to it.

Mission-Driven CompanyThe GraphoGame company is a small 5-employee business based in Helsinki, Finland. We strive to bring proven literacy apps for a small fee in order to get the app in the hands of those who need it the most. This way we can continue creation bigger and better literacy games in more languages in the future!
But our dream is to provide all of our apps for free. However, we cannot do this alone. To achieve this, we work with foundations, non-governmental organisations and other philantrophic entitites to make GraphoGame for free for all residents of a certain country.
