Supporting research

While a great deal of scientific data is currently available on video games, very little is available on board games despite growing interest in this type of game in all disciplines. This is why Game in Lab launches calls for projects every year to support the production of multidisciplinary scientific knowledge on board games.

    Cognitive – Adaptation – Behavior: Playing with Patients Suffering from Alzheimer's Disease

    In 2019, Professor Philippe Robert's project to assess the impact of board games on the relationship between patients suffering from Alzheimer's disease or related conditions and their caregivers or family members was selected in the first call for projects launched by Game in Lab. This project highlighted interesting results for both institutions and families, leading to the development of the Access+ range, a collection of board games designed to be accessible and adapted for individuals with cognitive impairments.
