Game Design Challenge
DECEMBER 11TH & 12TH, 2026
Bermuda Island Games will be hosting the fifth annual Video Game Design Challenge!
This event is designed to bring together people of all age groups in Bermuda who like to design video games.
Whether you are new to design, or are looking to compete, this is the place to do it. We cover the basics on what goes into creating a game prototype, and how to pitch your idea to the judges.
The event will be held at Donald French Building, 19 Elliott Street, Pembroke on Friday December 11th from 5pm - 9pm and on Saturday December 12th from 9am - 7pm.
We have special guest speakers who will be joining, and food and drinks will be provided on both days.
Highlights
Each year we have a secret theme the games are to be designed about - (2022 - Sharks, 2023 - Butterflies, 2024 - Anime, 2025 - Gombeys).
In addition to having each group present their team's game idea, we will also be including a special prize for the best working prototype.
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.
