The gaming world is booming, yet one crucial element remains absent—representation of social activists and civil leaders. While video games have become a dominant form of entertainment and education, they have largely ignored the stories of real-world heroes who fought for equality, justice, and freedom.
Rocket Arcade is here to change that.
Our research has uncovered a glaring gap in the industry: there are virtually no compelling storyline-driven games that feature civil rights leaders, revolutionaries, and changemakers as protagonists. Instead, we see a gaming industry dominated by generic characters and recycled narratives—leaving an entire generation without interactive ways to learn from the figures who shaped history.
This is more than a missed opportunity; it’s a call to action.
Imagine a young gamer stepping into the shoes of Nelson Mandela, leading the fight against apartheid in an immersive historical adventure. Picture a game where Malala Yousafzai battles for education rights, or where players experience the Civil Rights Movement through the eyes of Martin Luther King Jr..
Games have the power to educate, inspire, and ignite change—but they need to tell better, more inclusive stories.
🚀 Rocket Arcade aims to change the narrative by filling this massive industry gap, ensuring that Black, Indigenous, LGBTQ2I+, and marginalized voices are no longer left out of gaming’s most impactful stories.
🛑 The numbers don’t lie—gaming is not telling everyone’s story. The world is diverse. Video games should be too.
🔥 Our goal is clear: We’re building a movement to develop games that feature real-world civil leaders and activists—games that don’t just entertain but empower players to think, feel, and act.
Through historically grounded narratives, immersive storytelling, and high-quality game mechanics, Rocket Arcade will allow players to:
✔️ Experience the struggles and triumphs of social activists
✔️ Make critical choices that shape history
✔️ Engage with powerful, diverse characters
✔️ Develop leadership, empathy, and social awareness
🕹️ Gaming is the most interactive form of media today. It’s time to use that power to inspire the next generation of activists and changemakers.
🔹 "The March" – Step into the shoes of Martin Luther King Jr., leading nonviolent protests and navigating high-stakes decisions that will define the Civil Rights Movement.
🔹 "Mandela’s Legacy" – Survive 27 years of imprisonment, negotiate peace, and fight against apartheid in a revolutionary strategy game.
🔹 "Eco Heroes" – Take on the role of Greta Thunberg and global environmentalists, tackling climate disasters and mobilizing worldwide activism.
🔹 "Voices of Change" – Play as Susan B. Anthony, Rosa Parks, or Malcolm X, shaping history through interactive storytelling, strategic decision-making, and real-world historical challenges.
These are not just games.
These are digital experiences that shape minds, ignite activism, and create impact.
🌍 Why does this matter? Because video games shape minds, inspire action, and redefine cultural narratives.
Imagine a world where a young player, after playing a game about Harvey Milk or Winona LaDuke, feels empowered to create real change in their own communities. That’s the future Rocket Arcade is building.
The gaming industry has remained stagnant in its representation of real-world heroes for far too long. The time for change is now.
