Can any student from Bahrain, Israel, the UAE and the US participate in the competition?

No. The competition is only open to students who participated in the Game Exchange program during the 2023 school year.

How will my game be evaluated?

Games will be judged by industry professionals through three phases of evaluation. At each phase, games will be scored across four categories including: Gameplay, Originality, Learning Goal, and Wow Factor.

How many games can I submit?

Students can submit as many games as they want, as long as they satisfy all the guidelines.

Can my game address any topic?

To qualify, the game must teach players about a part of the creators' culture or identity. 

Can I work on my game with students from a different country?

Through the Game Exchange program students collaborate with overseas students, we ask that students enter a game they have worked on either (a) by themselves or (b) with peers from the same class. 

I don’t see my question here.  Who can I contact with my questions?
