Games Design Competition 2026

Shut down your systems, our Games Design competition is closed!

Using tools in Purple Mash, we looked for the best games designers to work together as a team to produce a two-level game based on the theme of Around the World that showcased their creativity and computing skills. We had lots of fantastic entries this year, and finalists have now been chosen.

If you don't have a Purple Mash subscription, and you'd like to try out our games design software, you can get a free trial!
