David Hasselhoff Makes Green Tuesday Moves with PlanetPlay and Ten Square Games to Help Fight Climate Change
Ten Square Games S.A., one of the founding partners of the Make Green Tuesday Moves (MGTM) initiative, is proud to announce that our collaborative action, initiated by PlanetPlay, has attracted the attention of Hollywood icon David Hasselhoff. His involvement will further enhance the campaign, promoting our commitment to sustainability and environmental consciousness.
Join Us on July 2nd!
David ‘The Hoff’ Hasselhoff, known globally for his roles in “Knight Rider” and “Baywatch,” has teamed up with PlanetPlay’s MGTM initiative. His involvement will help inspire gamers worldwide to make a tangible impact in the fight against climate change. On July 2nd, Fishing Clash players will be encouraged to participate in the event and purchase exclusive green items supporting certified sustainability projects through PlanetPlay’s eco-donate platform.
To celebrate this special event, Fishing Clash will introduce a unique fishing challenge themed around David Hasselhoff’s iconic films. Players at lower levels of the game will have the opportunity to catch a special fish inspired by his famous roles. For advanced players, the Fishing Clash team has prepared additional challenges. Catching this high-point fish will unlock a VIP event where players can compete for the highest scores.
Participants in the VIP event will vie for grand prizes, including an exclusive set of vanity items. This exciting competition promises significant rewards for top players and a chance to make a positive impact on the environment. Fishing Clash will offer two exclusive packages for players to choose from – for 5 EUR and 15 EUR, as even the smallest contribution counts.
In addition to David Hasselhoff’s involvement, the MGTM initiative will be prominently featured on the Google Play Store from July 2-15, 2024. This promotion will include an overview of the mission, showcases of Hasselhoff’s video messages, and all participating games, ensuring wide visibility and engagement across all English-speaking territories.
We invite all gamers and environmental enthusiasts to join us in this impactful initiative. By playing Fishing Clash and purchasing exclusive green items, you can contribute to a legacy of sustainability and help combat climate change. Visit the PlanetPlay platform to learn more, purchase the package, and support ecological initiatives.
Ongoing Monthly Events for Sustainability
Since April, on the first Tuesday of each month, Ten Square Games and other participating studios have launched dedicated events and exclusive in-game offers as part of the MGTM movement. These special items, available on the PlanetPlay platform, allow players to support various ecological initiatives simply by continuing to enjoy the games they love. Fishing Clash players can participate in these events and purchase exclusive offers, with all proceeds going towards environmental causes. This July event marks the third MGTM event. The inaugural event, announced on Earth Day (April 23, 2024), featured a week-long challenge where players cleaned the waters of Lake Constance. The second event, held on June 4, 2024, took place at the newly introduced Dubai fishing spot, offering players new challenges and rewards. For more details, read our press release.

Attendees of the initial sessions noted positive anecdotal outcomes.
EPIC Global Solutions announced a new partnership with Underdog to further the sports gaming operator’s investment in responsible gaming education through a series of training and workshops.
As part of the partnership, customer-facing Underdog employees participated in gaming harm awareness sessions and VIP relationships workshops presented by EPIC staff, increasing Underdog staff’s ability to recognize potentially problematic gaming behaviors in their customers.
The sessions were led by consultants who shared their own experience of how different forms of gaming proved problematic in their lives, including former NCAA and NBA point guard Stevin ‘Hedake’ Smith and former boxer Liz Thielen, and provided Underdog staff the chance to explore the human side of harm through a gaming-neutral lens.
EPIC’s VP North America Teresa Fiore noted: “We’re very pleased with the positive start to our working relationship with Underdog. They have a deep understanding that responsible gaming practices must be at the core for any major operator, and it’s a constant and consistent process of learning and attentiveness. It’s clear from the session feedback that the responsible gaming message we share – influenced by the lived experience of our team – is making a difference to Underdog’s staff in a way that will further enhance their communication and customer relationships in a positive way.”
The training and workshops promoted business sustainability and customer protection by exploring communication techniques and best practices to foster healthy customer relationships.
“Partnering with EPIC has reinforced the culture of responsible gaming that we are building at Underdog,” said Adam Warrington, Vice President of Responsible Gaming at Underdog. “We look forward to furthering the understanding of responsible gaming within Underdog and continuing to participate in training sessions and workshops to deepen our player protection knowledge.”
Attendees noted positive anecdotal outcomes, such as learning ‘the nuances of messaging’ and how to ‘dive deeper to get to the bottom of what messaging could be problematic’ and taking the message of ‘direct experiences to help understand how people are impacted’.
