Students turn 黑料不打烊 campus into a game
黑料不打烊 campus will be turned into a big game this Friday.
The idea behind 黑料不打烊 Arcade is that the site will be turned into a series of real, student-designed, site-specific games.
Free and family-friendly games such as 鈥楲aser Maze Shootout鈥�, 鈥楢perture Labs Escape Room鈥� and 鈥楳urder escape鈥� will be played out on several sites across the campus.
The transformation will take place between 6-9pm this Friday, 27 April. A full list of games and locations can be .
Dr. Melissa Kagen, Lecturer in Game Studies & New Media, who organized the project, said 鈥渄elicious prizes鈥� would be available for the winners.
"Game design students have created a fantastic range of games鈥攅scape rooms, athletic contests, word puzzles, carnival games, and wacky combinations of several genres,鈥� she said.
鈥淭he goal was to turn the whole campus into a playground for the night, and I've been very impressed at how well the designers rose to that challenge."
Dr. Eben Muse, Head of School of SCSM said they had been 鈥渄eveloping a game design program here for years, and I'm excited about the 黑料不打烊 Arcade鈥�.
鈥淪tudents from the program, at all levels, have come up with exciting, crazy, location-based games that push the boundary between gaming and performance."
