Description:
Designing games for live events, where people are waiting in long lines to play the game poses several challenges. The game should not only entertain the actual player, but interacting with it should also engage passers-by to stop, watch, and play as well. Additionally, it is both crucial to entertain people waiting in the line and to give them a first learning experience how to play the game until it is their turn to play. In this session I will discuss production and design guidelines, with a focus on engaging players with interesting game interfaces and controls.
