Kakao Games hosted its 'Visiting Friends Game Land' event on the 22nd, bringing a dose of joy to around 70 young patients at the Severance Rehabilitation Hospital in Seodaemun-gu, Seoul.

The 'Visiting Friends Game Land' is Kakao Games' flagship CSR initiative, designed to bring the magic of gaming directly to children and teenagers who might otherwise struggle to access such cultural experiences.

Since last year, they have been strengthening their child-focused outreach in collaboration with the international children's rights NGO Save the Children. Notably, this marks the third consecutive year they've set up shop at the Severance Rehabilitation Hospital to provide gaming programs for patients.

Timed to coincide with Disabled People's Day on April 20, the event was meticulously planned to ensure everyone, regardless of their physical abilities, could dive into the gaming culture. The venue featured several zones: ▲ the 'Kakao Games Zone' with 4D VR buses and sports, the 'Disability Awareness Zone' offering wheelchair sports and games tailored for developmental rehabilitation, and a 'Play Zone' complete with photo spots and coloring walls.

The Disability Awareness Zone saw the addition of rehabilitation games designed to assist with fine motor development, alongside wheelchair sports, proving that gaming accessibility can—and should—be prioritized.

Cho Sung-rae, Director of Severance Rehabilitation Hospital, noted, "I hope this event, organized for Disabled People's Day, creates wonderful memories for our young patients," adding that they look forward to continuing their fruitful CSR partnership with Kakao Games.

A representative from Kakao Games commented, "Launching our 2026 campaign at Severance Rehabilitation Hospital allowed us to help improve disability awareness and showcase the positive value of games. We remain committed to fostering an inclusive gaming culture where everyone can play, free from physical or environmental barriers."

Meanwhile, Kakao Games continues to push for better cultural accessibility through various CSR activities, such as 'Playing Buddy', which provides assistive devices for gamers with disabilities, and their employee-led charity project, 'Sharing Party'.
