Ageless Innovation is a company that creates play experiences for older adults and their families. It has partnered with Hasbro, a global branded entertainment leader, to reimagine three classic board games: The Game of Life, Scrabble, and Trivial Pursuit. These games are designed to meet the needs and interests of aging loved ones, and to encourage intergenerational play among families. The games feature easy-to-grasp pieces, increased font size, and trivia and references that cater to players of all ages.
The campaign aims to deliver joy and fun to all generations, especially older adults who may face loneliness, social isolation, and cognitive decline. The games also have the potential to calm anxiety and improve overall well-being without the use of medication. By reimagining iconic Hasbro properties, Ageless Innovation hopes to spark social interaction and meaningful connection through familiar and accessible gameplay.
