What is the Serious Game Arcade?
​
Formerly known as the Bad Game Arcade, the Serious Game Arcade explores the challenges of making, studying, and using serious games.
Whether you're interested in using games for education, social impact, or change, we provide serious games as a broad term for any game with a purpose beyond commercial play.
Come play, listen, ask questions, and discover how researchers, designers, and educators are getting serious about games.
A Hybrid Event
Games are being made by non-profits, universities, libraries, and game companies, it is time for them to be talking and showing their work each other. From conversational panels, playtest sessions, game showcases, and interviews, there is room for everyone to participate.
​
The Good and Bad of Serious Games
Serious games are made with different goals than most commercial titles, how does that help and hinder these games? Come play and give your feedback on games, or listen to conversations about what we might be able to do to improve them.
Free for All
Every part of the event will be free to attend, recorded, and findings from the conversations shared post.
