Is there a definition of what the criteria to be classed as a video game is? For example some educational apps might be in somewhat of a grey area.

Video Game Tax relief
Is this and for example R&D not something you would encourage your qualifying clients to take up then?
Be more specific
TIGA and HMRC have to be more specific as what exactly would qualify as a video game and what wouldn't and thus avoid grey areas, otherwise, I foresee a whole of lot of trouble in the very near future!
Look at the guidance
You have to get a certificate to prove the game qualifies. The guidance says you can make an interim application or ask for a 'letter of comfort' before incurring significant costs.
