Ageless Innovation Redesigns Hasbro Gaming Properties for Older Adults

In February, License Global reported Ageless Innovation had been tapped by Hasbro to create new gaming experiences specifically for older adults and their families. Now Ageless Innovation has announced it will reimagine three classic board games made by the global branded entertainment leader, including The Game of Life, Scrabble and Trivial Pursuit. The partnership marks Hasbro’s first licensee focused on creating play experiences for older adults. The games will feature easy-to-grasp pieces, easy-to-read content and intergenerational storylines.

Ageless Innovation designed the time-honored games to meet the needs and interests of aging loved ones, and to encourage intergenerational play among families.

Building off Ageless Innovation’s knowledge in creating play experiences for older adults, combined with Hasbro’s gaming expertise, the widely established properties will be updated to feature age-inclusive components, such as easy-to-grasp game pieces, increased font size and trivia and references that cater to players of all ages.

The Game of Life Generations invites players to “pick a generation and play!” The newly imagined version features the Greatest Generation, baby boomers, Generation X, millennials and Generation Z. Players travel a life path infused with humorous cultural and lifestyle references and experiences unique to each generation.
