Evidence-based education technology from FinlandGraphoGame traces its origins to 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 this 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 project. As a research spin-off company, 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 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 business based in Helsinki, Finland. We strive to make proven literacy apps available for a small fee; to get the app in the hands of those who need it the most. This way we can continue creating bigger and better literacy games in more languages in the future!
Our dream is to provide all of our apps for free. But we cannot accomplish this alone. So, we work with foundations, non-governmental organisations and other philanthropic entities to make GraphoGame free for all residents of a certain country. Read about our current nationwide implementations on the Case Studies page. |
