October 17-21
After months of hectical work with the project Lost in Malmö, something completely different materialised itself right before our eyes: The Spiel 2007 game fair in Essen!
We were going to share a small booth with Enigma, the danish distributor, and a game developing company from Malmö called Gigantoskop. The only problem was that we had a deadline for Lost in Malmö coming up, and it was basically breathing down our necks… We were knee-deep in work. Still we packed our bags with some games and prototypes and flew to Germany.
As last year, we stayed at our favourite apparthaus, and this time we got a really big 2-floor apartment. That was good, since as it turned out we had to stay there a lot of the time, working with Lost in Malmö!
At the first day of the fair we spent some time at our table showcasing one of our prototypes, and also and the children’s party games that are published by Egmont Kärnan this year: Maskeradmästerskapet and Tårtkampen.
Dan Glimne took some photos:
This is us..
…and, ehm, this is us too.

We also couldn’t miss out on delving into the night life of Essen (woohoo). We visited Turock, the metal club, and danced the night away to some strange german nu-metal - with our new 19-year old fan boys (!?). The next day they came to our table at the fair and tried our game The Witch Hunt, which is a game for kids (of all ages obviously!).
At Sunday we went home with not-so-many impressions of the fair as last year, but it was still fun!
