Mission Statement for Project Horseshoe:

Positively influencing the art, science, and business of game design over the next five years in ways that are unlikely to happen otherwise, by taking advantage of practice-proven brainstorming methods and our access to the brightest minds in the field.

Summary of the Method Used:

Under conditions that have proven conducive to successful and efficient team thinking:

1. Identify the biggest issues/problems in the area of game design.
2. Attack 3-6 of those issues/problems in facilitated workgroups.
3. Create reports including action items.
4. Take accountability for those action items.
5. Follow up on action items after the conference.

Proposed Topics

Although workgroup topics are chosen on the spot by the conference attendees, many possible topics have already been proposed. Click here to see them.
