Event Description

Team up and make your own game show at The Museum of Human Achievement this weekend! Theatrical productions, video games, and everything in between are encouraged.

Artists and performers, costume and prop makers, musicians and sound effect artists, game developer and coders all welcome! No experience needed or minimum time requirement to participate, just come have fun.

Schedule

Kickoff - 11am on Saturday 10/22

Hear the scoop, meet your teammates (or bring your own), get inspired with weird game show clips, sign up for bonus challenges, and enjoy some cold brew (thanks Texas Coffee Traders!), Hot Tea and a cereal buffet. Can’t make it Saturday but still want to join in? Tell us on the team finder!

Open workspace - 11am-9pm Sat & Sun 10/22-10/23

Jam with us! 2 days of access to collaborative workspace, mentors (for making things with computers and hands), tools, computers, paint, a big pile of cardboard, and as many encouraging remarks as you need. This is an optional resource! If you’d rather work somewhere else, go for it. It’s also up to you and your team how much time you spend making your game show.

Submission deadline - 9pm on Sunday 10/23

Times’ up! Tell us what it’s called, who made it, and what you’re doing. We’ll give you a time slot at the showcase.

Showcase - 8pm Thurs 10/27

Hosted by the infamous Shannon Stott and Coby West during our Halloween Games Y’all event. Put on your game show in front of a live studio audience at the MoHA outdoor stage! Also broadcast live on Discord! Bring your friends and fam.
