Games and mobile applications have become a showcase for social works. Nowadays it is rare for the user who does not have any app of this type installed on her mobile and more and more they are using them to carry out campaigns to help those most in need.

From the game, players are encouraged to donate their turnips that they have not been able to sell and have already expired to the company island, where they must leave them and for each of them Hellmann’s will donate a meal. The goal has been set to reach 25,000 products for those most in need in Canada.
