PanJango
is more than just a game!
At Panjango, we’re on a mission to transform the way the world learns by gamifying learning and giving it real world context.
Our fun, educational and interactive tabletop games connect learning to life, help children to think about their future and better prepare them for life after school.
Our games are fun for all the family, or the classroom, as they help your children find their purpose and develop skills for their future.

Our Education Foundation
As a social purpose business we are committed to reinvesting a percentage of our profits back into activities that generate social benefit.
We will therefore gift 10% of our profits to a Panjango education foundation to deliver or fund activities with disadvantaged young people to reduce educational inequality.
