Justin Hefter wants world peace through games. And today, he is launching an Indiegogo crowdfunding campaign to raise money for Bandura Games, which is creating a mobile game called RunZoo that aims to bring together people from multiple cultures.

As Hefter told us a couple of weeks ago, the aim of RunZoo, an endless runner game, is to create empathy and understanding. Bandura’s #FunWithoutBorders campaign has an initial minimum goal of $37,000. Bandura hopes to complete the game and rally support for its mission to change the world, one player at a time.
