Monument Valley 3, the latest installment in ustwo's acclaimed puzzle game series, will donate 3% of its profits to charity over the next three years. This contribution will support the IFRC (International Federation of Red Cross & Red Crescent Societies) and its Disaster Response Emergency Fund.
This commitment aligns with ustwo's status as a B Corp—a certification recognizing companies with exceptional social and environmental performance. Given Monument Valley 3's wide reach on Netflix Games, this charitable initiative could have a significant impact.
Ustwo has a history of incorporating social and environmental themes into its games, as seen in Alba: A Wildlife Adventure. They also previously partnered with UK youth charities for the launch of Desta: The Memories Between.
A Note on Funding
Monument Valley 3's positive reception, including our own five-star review, is encouraging. The long-term impact of this 3% donation is intriguing, especially considering its availability on Netflix Games, a platform without in-app purchases or subscription fees. This suggests the donation will come directly from ustwo's own resources, a commendable act of corporate philanthropy. Ustwo's public support for the IFRC and other organizations will undoubtedly aid these vital groups.
