It's time to play.
Utah State University's Center for Persons with Disabilities invites people to visit a Web-based computer game that gives users the chance to flex their brains and contribute to a good cause.
"Play for Good," the online gaming site, tests science, math and language skills.
When people play the games, sponsors donate money to the CPD that's contributed to a scholarship for a person with disabilities. Each new quarter of the year will bring a new cause that the players can direct money to.
The bottom of "Play for Good's" Web site tells players what cause they're supporting.
The sited designers hope the games will do more than raise money and think it may eventually become a method for the center's alumni to socialize online.
It is accessible at www.cpd.usu.edu/game.
