โค๏ธ Donors & games
Did you knowโฆ
There are 1474 people in Belgium waiting for a donor to save their lives.
15% of all potential organ donations are lost because close family members, in moments of emotion, refuse to give their consent.
Thatโs why, on the International Day of Organ Donation, Reborn-To-Alive is launching a unique new initiative aimed at a completely different audience: gamers.
How does it work?
Anyone who registers as an organ donor will gain access to a special mod for Minecraft or Baldurโs Gate. In the game, when your character dies, you can choose up to 8 friends to receive an extra life.
If youโre eager to know more or you would like to join, reach out to robby@piratepr.com

Idisen Gamejam results
Weโre incredibly proud to have supported the Idisen Game Jam, a powerful initiative by Merel Steeland and Goedele Godfroid, which brought together 12 amazing women from the games industry to create fantastic games in just a few days.
What started as a bold idea quickly gained attention, with features on VRT NWS, Het Nieuwsblad, Gazet van Antwerpen, and interviews on Radio2 and JOE FM.
You can play all the games for free on itch.io!
Curious about the results? Play the games here!
