Global Good Games is a San Francisco-based tech social enterprise lead by Christine Duong Mason that aims to shift the video game paradigm by combining fun socially good games with real non-profit organizations.

Founded this year and currently pre-launch, Global Good Games is a platform that allows developers to monetize while enabling players to crowdfund donations to real NGOs.

Global Good Games is working with games that feature cutting edge technologies including NeuroSky, Oculus Rift VR, Google Glass and Leap Motion. Their first video game partner, [Throw Trucks With Your Mind](http://www.kickstarter.com/projects/1544851629/throw-trucks-with-your-mind), was successfully funded on Kickstarter last month and utilizes a NeuroSky headset that reads the players' brainwaves. The NeuroSky has been proven help players with ADHD, memory training, PTSD, Alzheimer's, and more.
