Players join from their own devices and match everyday gadgets, from tablets to jar openers, to meet the real-life challenges on screen. The game provides a relaxed, creative way to talk about gadgets and how they support independence, without putting anyone's confidence or dignity on the spot.

Everyone joins from their own phone or tablet with a single link. Run it with people together in the room or joining from home, with no physical deck to hand round.
It opens up honest conversations about help and support, without questioning anyone's confidence, dignity or feeling of independence.
Every card is a real product and every challenge is drawn from real life, so people often leave having spotted something that could help them or a relative.

Gadget Match was made by Socialudo to bring people together to think creatively about assistive products and gadgets, and to explore how they help support independent living. Service providers, care and rehabilitation teams, community groups and individuals use it to develop awareness and maintain independence in health and social care settings and at home.
It began as a physical card game, played face to face with a printed deck. This online version lets people join and play together from their own devices, whether they are sharing a room or connecting from around the world, with nothing to print or carry.
"Board members and colleagues learned lots. Some even came across ideas for new items that could help relatives."
