About This Event

Have you ever wondered how Flappy Bird, Subway Surfer, and Temple Run got started? If so, this Design Lab is for you.

In this Design Lab, Game designer, Siddharth (Sid) Jain, will give participants an extensive look into the game design industry through the lens of hypercasual games—mobile games that are free and easy to play.

He will then lead participants through a game design challenge where they will create a design document for their own hypercasual game!
