Game Designer

Think outside of the game box and design your own game! You can go the traditional route and use an existing card or board game as a starting point. Or you can take your skills into the online realm and code a digital game or make a mod for an existing game.


Because this is a big project, we will reward you with 50 points upon completion!


You are encouraged (but not required) to test your new game at the library's Game Designer Showcase on January 31st starting at 2 pm. This is a fun way to share your creation and get an extra 25 points!
