Games are out!
Our children’s party games Maskeradmästerskapet (Fancy Dress party) and Tårtkampen (Sprinkles) are now available in Swedish shops. The games are activity based games for small children, and suitable for parties and family gatherings!
Lost in Malmö
October 31 - November 2
The event Lost in Malmö and Spelfest took place between the 31st of October and the 2nd of November, in Kockum’s old industrial building by the dock in Västra Hamnen, Malmö.
The premises were wonderful: a large industrial hall, filled with old furniture and new games!

Preparation of Spelfest

Karin gets it done. :)
We had our own balcony where we mainly resided during the event.
Our gamers were young people from the city, who before getting out on the streets, got a strange letter from the mysterious mr. Filou…
…who actually kidnapped someone! The players had to find the missing person by following clues and visiting places in the city. And also taking photos of themselves while doing some crazy assignments!

Like for example producing som violent behaviour outside of the police station.
The poor victim was chained to a chair at the cinema theatre Spegeln…

…and was released by the team Knightriders! (After they found out where they’d put the key)

Where were we in Essen?
Firstly, we have some summing up to do, from the autumn (that is suprisingly enough already turning into winter)!
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.
(Showcasing Maskeradmästerskapet/Fancy dress Party)
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!
