Summary

On November 19, 2024, UNICEF launched the RITEC Design Toolbox, a set of free resources for the gaming industry to create digital play experiences promoting children's well-being. This initiative follows UNICEF’s research, showing that well-designed video games can positively impact children. The toolbox, developed in collaboration with the LEGO Group and funded by the LEGO Foundation, offers tools like an interactive card deck, printable posters, and a shared vocabulary for game designers. It also provides practical guidance and design principles based on the RITEC-8 framework, focusing on dimensions like autonomy, safety, creativity, and inclusion in digital play.
