Local game-making community group Impact Gamers worked with children from across Bradford to make brand new games inspired by the city. Each area of Bradford had its own game, which were playable at specially introduced arcade machines at The Broadway shopping centre.

This event was a showcase of these games and an epic participation day, where audience members tested the games for themselves on a cinema screen and competed for prizes. The show featured:

• A closer look at how the games were designed
• Tips and tricks for game creation
• The story of how Impact Gamers built their arcade machines
• Audience members battling it out in games on stage and on the big Pictureville screen

This event was perfect for families with young gamers wanting to find our more about games design, or want the chance to play and win prizes on a big stage!
