What we were trying to achieve:
• A product that taught basic library skills through gameplay.
• Peer designed with minimal design input from adults.

What we were NOT trying to achieve:
• A game that would be played purely for entertainment.
• A game that could compete with big budget blockebusters.

What the students thought
“ I have learned new skills”“I liked working with different people
as part of a team”“I enjoyed talking about games”“I learned how to make a floor
pattern”“I would have liked to create my own
game”“It would have been better based on
actual programming rather than done on paper”

For one boy, coming to the Game Design Group was
the only thing he enjoyed in school!
