​

How are winners chosen?

- Four judges will rank all submissions from best to worst, highest total score wins.

​

Themes:

- There are no explicit criteria, a good game on a subject we care less about is worth more than a bad game on a subject we're really interested in.

​

Tips:

- We strongly discourage "fact bubbles".  Instead, facts should be programmed into game mechanics.

- To see an example of the type of thing we're looking for, see games in development.

- We want you to succeed!  Reach out to us early, we are very happy to provide feedback on whether your idea is in line with our expectations.
