Our Games Design competition is back! The 2026 Purple Mash Games Design Competition will give children the opportunity to showcase their creativity and skills in teams of 6 to create a game with the theme of Planet Protectors.

Are you a Year 6 teacher with a class full of gamers? This year, when there is no Purple Mash Games Design competition, we are excited to signpost gamers in your classroom to BAFTA’s Young Game Design competition. BAFTA’s annual competition aims to inspire and support those who are passionate about games.

The games design competition final is one of our favourite days at 2Simple, and this year's event at Amazon's London offices was no exception. Find out what our finalists got up to, and whose game won the amazing prizes we had on offer...

Finalists announced!

Our Games Design competition is now closed. Thank-you to all schools who entered. We had lots of fantastic entries on the theme of Around the World, and our finalists will soon be presenting their games at the Amazon offices in London.

The countdown is almost over. After receiving over 100 entries to the Purple Mash Games Design Competition, we're down to the last 8 schools, who are all set to compete in the Grand Final at Amazon's UK HQ on 15th June. Let's look at their games and meet the judges who will decide who will be crowned the 2022 Games Design Champion.
