The Red Cross Game - Emergency Response Unit PC video game

Proceeds from the Strategy Game to Benefit Emergency Response Organization

The Red Cross Game - Emergency Response Unit is now available online. Released by the Dutch publisher Youdagames and sponsored by SPIL GAMES, The Red Cross Game: Emergency Response Unit is a strategy title where players manage relief efforts and race against the clock to try to help those in need. Created to celebrate the 100-year anniversary of the Dutch Red Cross, the game was developed by I Sioux Game Productions with the cooperation of Red Cross specialists to provide a highly realistic simulation of relief efforts. The game will be sold for $19.95 and half of the net income generated by game sales will be donated to the world-renowned emergency response organization.
“The Red Cross Game: Emergency Response Unit gives people a glimpse into the wide range of challenging missions carried out by the Red Cross every day,” said Peter Driessen, CEO of SPIL GAMES. “It not only gives people a chance to learn about heroic work done by Red Cross workers, but also directly supports this valiant organization.”
