GoRice aims to empower and engage young people to learn more about issues such as hunger, sustainability and gender equality. After more than 10 years, GoRice is growing up.

A Game with a Cause

GoRice is a quiz game that raises rice grains for each correct answer. In GoRice, players have to earn rice grains to fill a virtual bowl. This “unlocks” the donations of the private sponsors who fund the program — raise rice and you raise money. The funds then go to support The World Food Programme (WFP)’s work in emergencies — in countries impacted by conflict, climate disasters and rising prices.

Categories for All Ages and Interests

GoRice has more than 60 categories covering academic subjects, general knowledge, the UN’s Sustainable Development Goals and more. The most popular categories are English Vocabulary and the Multiplication Table. New content areas cover Women Leaders, Foods of the World and Pop Culture. These are the contributions of volunteers who include educational influencers, academics and GoRice fans.

Now there are even more ways to learn and give back. The new GoRice aims to provide young people with resources and ideas on how to become advocates in their communities. Visitors can read stories on the Blog and submit their own stories to be featured on the program.

Some of the latest stories you’ll find on GoRice include:

• How climate change is affecting our food systems

• 5 tips on how to live a more sustainable life

• How to incorporate more pulses into your diet

• The power of corn

Schools are one of GoRice’s biggest audiences, so the new program also offers printable materials for the classroom, including an A-Z ebook that introduces WFP’s work, a toolkit for using the game and certificates of
