One playtest down! Loved the vibes in the First Exposure Playtest Hall :) Thanks to my playtesters! #GenCon2022 #FEPH #playtest #gamedesign #boardgames
ALT Foreground: colorful board game pieces on a round table. 4 playtesters sit around the table, smiling. The background is a busy bustle of playtest tables

PETRI DASH PLAYTEST FOOTAGE 😊 There was a lot going on in the game lab, hence the background noise, and (partly by design) it isn’t 100% clear how the game works in the video. But hopefully you can get a feel for it! This is a 2min play—full game is 5min #boardgames #gamedesign

This past spring, a team with the @WestonGameLab and the @UChicagoCollege developed "A Labyrinth," an alternate reality game that built community during a remote quarter—while also examining the future of media.
