We are excited to announce a new partnership with Pixelberry Studios and their hit game High School Story.
Launching today at the fifth annual Who's Got Game Innovation Showdown in Redwood City, we're releasing a new in-game story to help young people deal with cyberbullying. With Pixelberry Studios, we will work to help change how people play and learn games, enabling us to deliver preventative education through gaming for the first time.
It's an honor to be launching our new partnership at the Who's Got Game Innovation with Pixelberry Studios. Gaming can be a force for good, and through High School Story, we will be able to help and even save the lives of young people around the world.

As part of the partnership, Pixelberry Studios will be helping us to raise funds that will go toward our support services. 50% of revenue from three purchasable in-game items will be donated to us, with the aim of raising over $100,000.
In November, a new "Stop Cyberbullying" update will be added in-game to allow players to participate. This will include a 3-week storyline on cyberbullying, highlighting stories of both the victim and the bully.
High School Story is an iOS game with more than 400,000 active daily players and over 1 million users playing each month.
