Crowd-designed?

That’s right. We’re trying for something a little crazy. The idea behind Puzzle Clubhouse is an online community for a new kind of game development process, one that is crowd designed, and crowd supported. It’s a creative experiment and we need your help to get it started!

Each Puzzle Clubhouse episode is a combination of an animated story and a short, quirky game. You can play a prototype episode at Puzzle Clubhouse.com to get the idea.

Why are we going episodic instead of one big game? Good question. Here are three of our reasons:

• We want to involve as many people as possible as much as possible as often as possible.
• Who wants to wait 12 months for their texture, dialogue, or concept to be released in a game? We’re leaning towards short episodes with short turnaround. Our hope is that we can do at least one episode every month to start and more as we get the hang of things.
• The Puzzle Clubhouse collaborative design process will require iteration. We’ll try some things, learn from them, try some more. Having an episodic structure gives us a natural iterative loop.
