Game Gestalt is Game Design Competence.

What is “Game Gestalt”
We are four game designers who delight in tackling unusual game ideas that foster personal and social change. Our core mission is to challenge accepted notions of what games can do or should be about and to provide tangible proof of concepts for our ideas through playable game prototypes.

We foster game design excellence in the following areas:

* we provide proof of our own game ideas through prototypes and intense playtesting.
* we take on anybody’s game idea provided it is interesting and innovative enough.
* we co-organize an international award for best game idea (“the game gestalt”) which will be presented at game city vienna.
* we think academically about game design, contribute to the field through conference presentations and publications, have a regular discourse with the main players in the discipline (MIT, USC, Tiltfactor Laboratory) and contribute to the education of tomorrow’s game designers through our teaching engagements at several universities and games programmes.
