The Game Academy is so much fun! The Game Masters are awesome and have the best stories. They are patient and kind and always encourage players making the day fun and interesting. Small groups are the best and we get to know one another well. The snacks are breaks are great too.

Anthony at The Game Academy is fantastic. Our family started an online adventure during covid that is still going four years later. It's been amazing to follow the story through caves and over rivers and mazes of rooms, exploring and challenging one another to new levels of excitement. Anthony's story telling is engaging and creative and super funny. We laugh, we joke, we tease one another and stay connected even though family members are states away at times. The Game Academy has really brought us together in a unique and fun way.

As a scholar interested in the effects roleplaying games have on the social/emotional development of young people, I can confirm from my research that few organizations are as successful at building these skills as The Game Academy is. Parents and students report that their lives were transformed by the gamemasters and their skillful development of programs and adventuring teams. It isn't every day one encounters an organization that creates programs this fun and this important.
