Red Bull Mind Gamers Challenge

Platform- and season-spanning co-op game, which I shaped as Lead Game Designer.

The Project

Red Bull Mind Gamers Challenge is a series of puzzle games across several platforms.

  • It consisted of a singleplayer browser game, and later a VR puzzle game, which players could play to qualify for the next stage.
  • Stage 2 featured a custom-created hardware setup consisting of 4 touchscreens, where 4 players played puzzle games simultaneously that influenced the other screens.
  • Players that won country-wide competitions then were invited to Stage 3 - a livestreamed Escape Room event in which the final event once again featured the 4-screen setup.

Mi'pu'mi Games developed the various digital games and the custom hardware setup, and as Lead Game Designer I ensured the puzzles would be unique and challenging.
