Minute to Pitch
Social Game by
LEVI ARNETT, RAFAEL GONZALES, MATT SEARS
You are a Junior Game Designer, today is the big day to pitch your ideas to a publisher. The publisher has received the outline of your game ahead of time. Except… Your Boss, the Senior Game Designer, has passed out on the hotel bed from partying late last night. You must take it upon yourself to pitch the idea, though you have no idea where the files are and you must think on your feet. Your list of ideas comes from this Random Object Generator or the objects around you.You arrive just in time for the Publisher to shuffle into the office behind you. You both sit down and they say:
Publisher: “Hello, welcome to the meeting! I’m excited to hear your pitch. I’m curious to see how you’re incorporating [items from generator] into your game.”
You have 1 minute to come up with an idea and pitch it to the publisher.

Purgatory Court
Social Game by
THOMAS COZAD, NOAH CUFF, ZACHARY MILAZZO, MATTHEW OSBORNE
How will you talk your way out of this one? In Purgatory Court, players take the roles of a prosecutor, defendant, and jury and discuss the sins and good deeds of recently deceased. Your discussions can save or condemn a soul!
The strategy for the game is that the prosecutor and defendant don’t know what the other has in their deck. For example: they don’t want to play their most powerful card against what they think is the other’s weakest card. But they must make a guess. When a card is played to counter another card, a story would have to be made based on that card to justify actions (defendant) or convince why it is unjustified (prosecutor)
