PlayVS, the leading platform for scholastic gaming and youth engagement, is announcing a new partnership with Skillprint, a pioneer in game-based wellness and learning. Together, the two companies will bring the science of play into competitive gaming communities across schools, helping students not only sharpen their skills but also build resilience, focus, and confidence through play.
PlayVS will weave Skillprint’s neuroscience-powered technology into its platform to help students better understand how games impact focus, mood, and resilience. Together, the companies will surface insights on the cognitive and emotional benefits of play, introduce curated wellness-driven games, and provide players with personalized profiles and wellness tracking over time. The result is a first-of-its-kind collaboration that transforms scholastic esports into not only a space for competition, but also a pathway to measurable growth and wellbeing.
In scholastic esports, competition is often the draw, but the deeper value lies in what students gain beyond the screen. Skillprint was founded on the belief that games can be a force for good, and their technology proves it. By analyzing how players engage with different games, Skillprint can surface insights into mood, mindset, and cognitive skills.
The platform’s Adaptive Play™ engine goes a step further, dynamically adjusting games in real time to help students stay in the flow, reducing frustration, boosting motivation, and creating space for both learning and joy. Whether it’s recommending a calming puzzle game before a big exam or spotlighting a strategy game to build focus, Skillprint personalizes play for each student’s needs.
“Esports is about much more than winning a match — it’s about discovering who you are and what you’re capable of,” said Jon Chapman, CEO of PlayVS. “Partnering with Skillprint allows us to show students that the games they love can also help them manage stress, sharpen their minds, and grow as individuals. That’s a powerful message for this generation.”
For Skillprint, the partnership is an opportunity to bring its mission to scale in schools across North America. “We’ve always believed games can unlock potential,” said Chethan Ramachandran, CEO of Skillprint.. “Working with PlayVS means we can meet students where they already are — in their favorite games — and help them discover how play can fuel wellbeing, focus, and resilience.”
The collaboration reflects a growing recognition of the role games can play in education and wellness. PlayVS has long been the trusted bridge between esports and schools, ensuring competition is accessible, inclusive, and meaningful. Skillprint brings a complementary layer — insights and experiences that highlight the personal benefits of play.
Together, the two organizations are helping schools and communities reimagine esports not just as competition, but as a catalyst for mental fitness, social connection, and lifelong growth.
