D.I.C.E. Award for Family Game of the Year
Annual award presented by the Academy of Interactive Arts & Sciences / From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The D.I.C.E. Award for Family Game of the Year is an award presented annually by the Academy of Interactive Arts & Sciences during the D.I.C.E. Awards. This award recognizes "the best title of any genre towards a shared, family gaming experience. The title's play dynamics must be suitable for a younger audience but can appeal to adults as well. These games often offer a mini-game component and encourage group play".[1] All active creative/technical, business, and affiliate members of the Academy are qualified to vote for this category.[2] Originally only offered as a computer game category, the first winner was Lego Island, developed and published by Mindscape.[3] The first console winner was Pokémon Snap in 2000.[4] Since condensing the computer and console awards into a single category (briefly introduced in 2003), the first winner of the current version was Guitar Hero in 2006.[5]
