Toonz Media Group Joins Kerala’s Election Movement with ‘Election Quest’

As election season gathers momentum in Kerala, Toonz Media Group has become an active part of the electoral awareness drive with the development of “Election Quest,” an engaging board game designed to bring the democratic process closer to people.

Commissioned by the Chief Electoral Officer of Kerala, Election Quest is more than just a game, it is a powerful awareness tool created for the Election Commission to connect with citizens, especially first-time and young voters. The initiative was developed under the leadership of Director Sriram, whose vision helped shape the game into an impactful civic engagement platform.

By simplifying the complexities of the electoral process into an interactive format, the game transforms civic education into an accessible and memorable experience. Through its thoughtfully designed gameplay, participants are guided across the various stages of elections, reinforcing not only how the system works but also why every vote matters.

Designed for both small groups and larger audiences, the game carries a compelling message: while individuals may compete, the true winner is always democracy.

Currently available in English and Malayalam, Election Quest is scalable and can be adapted into multiple languages, enabling the Election Commission to expand its outreach across diverse communities.

The initiative has already begun resonating with young audiences. Students from Sacred Heart College recently showcased the game to the Chief Electoral Officer, underlining its potential as an effective engagement tool.

With Election Quest, Toonz Media Group reinforces its role beyond entertainment, leveraging creativity and innovation to support public initiatives and contribute meaningfully to the democratic process.

Farewell to Sudarshan Chettan

It is with deep sorrow that Voice of Toonz shares the untimely demise of Sudarshan Chettan, who had been a cherished part of the Toonz family for over two decades.

Known for his ever-smiling presence, Sudarshan Chettan brought warmth and positivity to the workplace, brightening the office environment every single day. His dedication, humility, and gentle nature left a lasting impression on everyone who had the privilege of working with him.

A Toonz delegation, led by PK Vijayakumar, Director – Operations, paid their last respects to Sudarshan at his residence, standing in solidarity with his family during this difficult time.

He will be deeply missed and fondly remembered by all of us at Toonz.
