As a multidisciplinary game designer, I’m really proud that the curation of the Experimental Games Showcase celebrates all games and playful projects. We’ve shown off videogames, board games, TTRPGs, museum installations, performances, and everything in between. Submit your unique whatever-it-is!

Taking a shot and submitting to this was one of the best things I've ever done, yall should try it too

This year’s Experimental Games Showcase is up on the GDC Vault, and it’s free for anyone to check out! If you wanna see a handful of really interesting projects doing very unique things in the industry, take a look: gdcvault.com/play/1035831...

The Experimental Games Showcase team goes through over a hundred submissions every year to narrow down the dozen you see onstage at GDC. It’s a HARD choice. If you want to see some of the games we couldn’t fit into the showcase, this reel features a handful of some of our favorite submissions!

We just posted the games reel from this year's session on our brand new YouTube channel! It features clips from the showcased games, along with some standout submissions from the many we received last year. Watch it here: youtu.be/5Y-BezGV6mU
