We're pleased to announce that Sleeper Cell is the winning game design for the first ever 'Let's Change the Game' competition! Sleeper Cell is a fun, immersive and original game that invites players to participate in the epic yet kitschy battle between the forces of Good and Evil; in the grand tradition of Comic Relief, it presents a light-hearted way to raise funds and have fun in the process. We're now already hard at work with the winning team and CR UK, making this game a reality.

The overall quality of entries was extremely high, and it was a tough decision choosing the winner; we certainly wished we had more money to fund additional games to be developed! However, we're very pleased with the winning game design, and we're confident that this ARG will be a tremendous force for good. Stay tuned here for more details about the development of the game!

I'm pleased to announce that after careful and thorough deliberation, we've chosen to shortlist four game designs: 'Dear Emma', 'Sleeper Cell', 'I Want a New Drug' and 're:SEARCH'. We'll be contacting these teams either today or tomorrow with details of what they need to do in the next round of the competition, and all the relevant feedback and suggestions from judges.

We were all very impressed with the quality of entries for the competition in general, and so we'll also be contacting non-shortlisted teams with our thoughts on their designs and why we ultimately decided not to shortlist their designs.

Tomorrow, we'll be closing the entry period for the competition, so if you haven't already entered then it'd be a good idea to put your last finishing touches on your proposal pretty quickly! Over the next two weeks, the judges will carefully review the entries and contact shortlisted teams by December 3rd; check back here for more news about who made the cut.
