Game Gazer, showcasing excellence in Swiss game design.

Game Gazer will showcase the work of students from Geneva University of Art and Design and the Zurich University of the Arts in Goa and Bangalore.


As part of the Year of Swiss Architecture, Design and Engineering in India, Pro Helvetia – Swiss Arts Council and swissnex India bring the Game Gazer exhibition which showcases games and apps that offer a peek into the play of tomorrow.

Nadezda Suvorova  and Marine Sergent from Geneva University of Art and Design (HEAD – Genève) and Mischa Geiser and Simon Kovatsch  from Zurich University of the Arts (ZHdK) will be visiting India to be part of Game Gazer India and to present the games to Indian game enthusiasts.

Come in, come play, and come explore the latest innovations in gaming and interaction, dive into space with puzzle app, OKO, follow the crazy adventures of Ned and Ted and many more!

This exhibition will showcase games for mobile and desktop platforms at the Kyoorius Design Yatra in Goa from 29 – 31 August, 2013 and later travel to Bangalore where a "Gaming Jam" has also been planned. The Gaming Jam will be a creative - face to face and hands-on event where people of various backgrounds (primarily game players, game developers and game designers) will come together and work on a shared theme. The participants will work together to derive and design new storyboards for games, new user experiences and new game themes/designs, learn new skills and attitudes, and meet new collaborators from India and Switzerland.

Game Gazer is an excellent example of how combined forces create a unique exposure for Swiss games in museums, education, and the industry all at once and create networking opportunities for creators and exhibitors alike.
