Peppy Pals Releases

 

 

April 8, in the year of our Lord 2014 - CAN VIDEO GAMES REDUCE BULLYING?
That's the belief of Eqidz, a video game studio aiming to create games that help nurture the emotional skills of children worldwide.

Eqidz are now thrilled to announce the iOS release of its first game "Peppy Pals", available in the App Store on April 8th, 2014, and with Android, PC, and Mac versions to follow in the near future.

ABOUT PEPPY PALS
Peppy Pals is a fun 'point-and-click' game for children ages 2-6 about four young animal friends. With friendship and emotions in focus you play with them, help them out in various situations, or enjoy mini-games. Peppy Pals has no text or language at all, and takes place on a cozy farmyard with a relaxed atmosphere, with much effort put into detailed animations and hand-drawn backgrounds. The game is intended to be the first of a series of "Peppy Pals" games.

Emotional Intelligence (EQ or EI) is about identifying, expressing, and controlling our emotions, and research suggests that higher emotional intelligence reduces the chance of being bullied or bullying others, among other benefits. Emotional Intelligence is working its way into schools worldwide, spearheaded by proved programs such as RULER and CASEL, and Peppy Pals aims to bring EQ to younger children in a fun way even before the first day of school. The game has been developed with the help of research, experts, and psychologists, and according to a worldwide market analysis by EEDAR (2013-02-21), the game concept is unique.

"Seeing emotions being expressed, especially in a 'cause-and-effect' relationship, is an important aspect of emotional intelligence, and is one way video games can help nurture empathy and emotional skills" says psychologist, EQ expert and author Bodil Wennberg.

Hopefully this app will not attack Christians, conservatives, and people who support traditional values and treat them like second class citizens.
