Board Game Lab (10-12years)

Are you bored of the same old board games? Think you could create something even better?

Join us for a Board Game Lab called "Game Dev Delve", a hands-on adventure into the world of board-game design! Come along and discover the exciting adventure that is game development!

• Discover the journey behind designing sustainable games with the creator of Frodge and Bin Off!
• Come with your own idea, or no idea at all!
• Plenty of games to play at the event for inspiration.
• A creative and engaging activity for kids with no computer screens required!
• Practice an endless range of skills from illustration, design, to ‘snappy writing’!
• Use recycled materials to construct your first prototype.

This workshop is facilitated by Jake Bamford, the multi-talented creator behind Dapper Cranium Studios. Jake is a game designer, illustrator, storyteller and educator who has spent years developing engaging, hands-on creative experiences for young people. His approach blends fun with skill-building—encouraging kids to experiment, think critically and express themselves with confidence. With his friendly manner and passion for creativity, Jake creates a space where every child feels empowered to explore, imagine and make something meaningful.
