Think you could design a game people actually want to play? This Easter, we’re giving you the space, tools, and creative freedom to prove it. Across this two-day project you’ll:

• Try out lots of games

• Create your own game world

• Make your own rules, characters, challenges and twists

• Bring your invention to life

At the end of day two, we’ll flip the room into a full‑on board game café for an epic showdown. You’ll get the chance to play everyone else’s creations — battle it out, team up, and see who’s made the most addictive, or genius game of the week.

No experience needed. Just imagination, and a willingness to get stuck in. If you love creating, competing, or just trying something different, this is your Easter sorted.
