WE’RE SUPPORTING A VERY SPECIAL CAUSE

Amiqus has long been a strong supporter of the amazing charity SpecialEffect, an organisation which helps severely physically disabled and vulnerable people to play games. We remain in awe at the fantastic work that the team there does to make such a positive impact on the lives of so many children and adults.


So, we are delighted to sponsor the 2021 One Special Game competition – which invites gamers, artists and students to create video game fan art posters based on The Sims, Fall Guys or Broken Sword. Our very own Lee Burns will be taking part in the judging process, helping to choose a winner for each game, as well as an overall winner. Limited edition prints of each winning design will then be sold, with all profits going to SpecialEffect.


The competition is open now until October 1st, which is also the date for this year’s One Special Day – an annual gathering of the games industry to raise money for SpecialEffect.


We urge as many of you as possible to get involved in One Special Day and to spread the word about One Special Game.
