Dublin Maker Festival 2015, Trinity College

August 2015

Over the summer myself and one of my college project partners, Daniel O'Halloran, took part in the Dublin Maker Festival at Trinity College Dublin. We brought our board game 'Heroes Choice' and it was a huge success. We had originally created the game to be played by adults but on the day there was an overwhelming amount of children present at the festival and we were forced to improvise and change the game on the fly. It was challenging to suit it to children within a 10 minute time frame but at the same time a fantastic problem solving opportunity.

Having completely changed the rules and removed some of the more adult-orientated cards to be more child-friendly we went about our show and luckily it all worked seamlessly despite the very limited time we had. There was a constant crowd around our tent and even parents asking for their children to be put on a list to get to play. We were absolutely delighted!

Even more exciting was the interest we had in purchasing a copy of the game. Unfortunately we only had 2 copies of the game produced due to the fact it currently costs between €30-€60 to have a copy printed. If we were to order in bulk then of course we would have the option to allow people to purchase them. Ordering in bulk would obviously greatly decrease the single cost of a game too so we could sell at a relatively affordable price and leave the acquiring of swords/helmets/armour to the consumer seeing as they're not included with the game. It was great to see parents want to buy the game and bring it home for their kids, it made us feel like we'd made something really special. 

The sheer amount of interesting people we met that day who informed us of upcoming events and offered us their contact details was fantastic and I would do it all again in a heartbeat.

On the top right of the page there is the Dublin Maker podcast we were featured in where you can hear us talk more about the game (skip to 3:53 for our segment).
