GAME PITCH REVIEW

Got a game idea you’re itching to share? Step up for the Game Pitch Review, where you’ll have 5 minutes to pitch your concept to a panel of seasoned game developers. They’ll give you helpful, honest feedback to sharpen your pitch and take it to the next level.

Sign-ups happen on-site, and spots are limited, so make sure to get there early.


PARA MAKASALI

Ready to pitch? Make sure you come prepared. The Game Pitch Review moves fast, and we want everyone to get the most out of it. If you’re not ready when your turn comes up, you might miss your shot.

Here’s what you’ll need to bring:

1. A well-practiced, 3–5 minute verbal pitch that clearly explains the game concept, how it’s unique to the marketplace, why it would be worth funding, etc.

2. Any hardcopy or digital visuals (images, video, etc.) that help illustrate the concept and viability of the idea (you must bring the device on which you will display the visuals).

3. Be imaginative in your pitch and be passionate; imagine you’re making a very quick pitch to receive funding for your idea.
