MGDC focuses on game design as a whole. We help teach members how to create different types of games, find a place to get feedback, and provide opportunities to play test games. During the year we help create escape rooms for League of Geeks events, hold a number of game jams, and much more.

All levels of experience are welcome. We are extremely friendly to both new people and non-gamers who might be interested in joining the club for purposes of art, narrative, programming, business, sound/music, and design. Visit MGDC on The Hub »
