Olly, from Warwick, UK, said, “I’ve always loved Fall Guys as it’s such a creative and joyful game to play. Even though I’ve only managed to actually win a single crown through hundreds of games you can’t not have fun running and stumbling about with all the other colourful beans!
I’m incredibly happy that my art has the opportunity to help raise money and awareness for a charity that does such amazing and important work as SpecialEffect.”

One Special Game is always one of the highlights of the whole #OneSpecialDay event, but this year, it’s been pushed to another level. We can’t thank Stephen Hey, Hollie Pattison and the team at Bastion enough for all their hard work in making the event so successful and spreading awareness of the charity so innovatively. Huge thanks as well to all the judges who generously gave their talents and time, to EA, Mediatonic and Revolution for allowing us to feature their titles, to our generous One Special Game partners and sponsors, and of course to everyone who entered.”
