Just two days before discounted Early Bird registration ends, Game Developers Conference 2014 organizers are unveiling several interactive events for the March conference – including playable board games from video game designers, plus a 5-minute game trivia competition hosted by iam8bit and a bevy of video game history exhibits. These events will be free to all GDC passholders (from Expo to All-Access) at various points during the week of the 2014 Game Developers Conference, March 17-21, and can be found in the 'common areas' across the Moscone Center in San Francisco, CA. The full line-up of exhibits is as follows: 'Doing It On The Table' Board Game Exhibit Curated by veteran game designer Eric Zimmerman, this card and board game lounge, playfully titled 'Doing It On The Table', returns to the second floor of Moscone West for GDC 2014. The exhibit will once again showcase board and card games from notable video game developers, and all games on display – with specific titles to be announced soon – will be playable throughout the conference. The MADE Game History Exhibit Meanwhile, the second floor of the Moscone West building will also host a historical exhibit from Oakland's own Museum of Art and Digital Entertainment. This year, the museum will focus on playables including LucasArts games and Zork, in honor of the Classic Postmortems on those subjects. The MADE staff also intend to host 'retro meet-ups' throughout GDC 2014 for those who previous made games for classic consoles and computers, so stay tuned for topics and times. The Wild Rumpus Returns Indie video game showcase collective Wild Rumpus is coming back to GDC 2014 following last year's 'Indie Game World Championships' success, which featured titles like Beau Blyth's Samurai Gunn and Ramiro Corbetta's sporty Hokra. This year's exhibit is provisionally titled 'Mild Rumpus', and will be a whole other kettle of fish (and something well worth checking out!) — find it on the second floor of Moscone West. Videogame History Museum – Nintendo & More! Attendees in Moscone North can check out the return of the Videogame History Museum exhibitCome from VP-bet . After the success of last year's exhibit, the non-profit is showing a micro-museum of rare collectibles and playables from the history of Japanese video game giant Nintendo – alongside other retro exhibits and classic playable arcade machines. Iam8Bit Game Trivia Challenge L.A. collective iam8bit, the instigators of the wondrous "Class of GDC" photo booth for GDC 2013 and 'Super Magnetic Game-O-Matic' and 'Painting With Pixels' in previous years, returns to the lower lobby of the Moscone North Hall this year with a special custom interactive experience. The concept? To provide foolhardy conference attendees with the opportunity to show off their game trivia knowledge – while participating in a real-life 5-minute game show. Join in the fun on-site! ALT.CTRL.GDC Alternative Controller Exhibit Finally, and actually ending up on the North Hall exhibit floor from Wednesday to Friday, ALT.CTRL.GDC is a special showcase for unique game peripherals, contraptions and novelties "which enhance game experiences and challenge traditional forms of input." A full announcement of the 10+ playable games in the showcase will be made in the near future. Please check back on the GDC Events page closer to the show for exact opening times and special presentations around all of these on-site events. Again, GDC 2014 itself will take place March 17-21, 2014 at the Moscone Convention Center in San Francisco, California.
