Bermuda Island Games is thrilled to be back to host the third annual Video Game Design Challenge!

This event is designed to bring together anyone in Bermuda who ever wanted to build their own video game. We will be covering what goes into creating a game, how to break down the design and help answer any questions you have about building the game.

The event will be held at Suite Solutions on Friday October 18th from 5pm - 9pm and on Saturday October 19th from 9am - 9pm.

We have special guest speakers who will be joining, and food and drinks will be provided on both days.

Overview

Each year we have a secret theme the games are to be designed about - (2022 - Sharks, 2023 - Butterflies). This year will be no different, but we do have a new twist!

In addition to having each group present their team's game idea, we will also be including a special prize for the best individual graphic design.

The Video Game Design Challenge will be just as much focused on the overall concept of the game, as well as how it is presented.

Suite Solutions is located at New Venture House (3rd floor) - 3 Mill Creek Road, Pembroke
