Here’s How:

STEP 1 - CHOOSE YOUR GAME

Play something you love, give your mates a laugh playing something you hate, or be inspired by the List of Lists.

Attempt the impossible: The games in this list are known for being difficult. They wear the difficulty as a badge of honour. Take them on!

Big budgets: Big, brash and popular with high visual and interactive quality. What’s not to love?

Build resilience: You know games – they present you with a challenge and the joy comes from taking it on and overcoming those obstacles. These games help you build up your resilience.

STEP 2 - BUILD CALM INTO THE GAME

Develop games? You can include CALM and proudly show your support in game.

We’d love to hear about your concept, or come up with an idea together. It could be anything from giving players the option to donate by dropping a gold coin in a wishing well to a Patch purchase that includes an automatic donation to CALM. Get in touch with us.

In their latest update, FIFA added our very own CALM kits, a new crest, and stadium dressing to proudly support our campaign against living miserably and give players the chance to play in the stylish CALM jersey. Special FUT Kits, supporter signs and LED boards all carry our messages about tackling the stigma around suicide and mental health.

If you’re of the FIFA persuasion, you can don your assembled ultimate team with the CALM logo! You can now play as CALM on FIFA - Campaign Against Living Miserably
