This page is meant to help GUADEC 2017 organizers plan for the Games at GUADEC. These are meant to be held at the Picnic on Friday, July 28th.
Contents
Before the Picnic
Buy prizes to give out. These should be at most 5 GBP each. Buy around 5 - 10 prizes so that people have multiple chances to win. Examples: candy, tote bag, cheap Manchester souvenirs. The dollar store (1 GBP store?) is your friend.
Get balloons. See if Julita can bring GNOME balloons, if not purchase ~25 balloons.
Buy or gather other supplies. Identify which supplies you'll need to run the games. Buy anything that the local GUADEC team does not already have.
Bring a speaker. Bring a speaker and have a playlist ready. Music helps create fun ambiances
During the Picnic
Announce what time the games will be. If possible, have the games before dinner. If not, try to start them before it gets dark.
Games
We can divide people into two groups, they must invent one geek name to have 1 point (the jury will say which one is better). Each group must have one color to differentiate to the other one.
