List of Game Design Challenges

[Adrir]

The Design Challenge is an exercise in becoming a game developer, asking you to look at games in a new way -- from the perspective of a game creator, producer, marketer, businessperson, and so forth.

Once a week, a design question will be proposed. There will be one week to answer it. The following week, the best answers and the names of those who submitted them will be posted along with some commentary.
