Hello from Greece! I am a greek archaeologist and school teacher. I love games as an alternative tool of science communication. During the last couple of years I have been designing an educational board game regarding history and archaeology of ancient Athens. I have submitted it to Hippodice 2013, but unfortunately the answer was negative. I was wondering if there exists a contest specialised in educational games. I have n't found anything through google searching and it seemed a little bit peculiar to me.

I don’t believe that there is

I don’t believe that there is one or at least I have not heard of one in the 9 years I have been seriously designing games.

Winning a contest is very gratifying but you could get it published without winning one.

Welcome to the forum.

How cool is this to have an archeologist / teacher on the forum. I am interested in the game and stories you have been on during your years as an archeologist.

educational games contest

There are so many competitions for computer based educational games and nothing for games in physical form... :-(
Thank you for the optimistic idea of getting published without winning a contest! I will certainly try contact with publishing companies, but the -possibly more objective- evaluation of a game by experienced judges, motivated not only by profit, would also be very helpful.

Thank you very much for your interest! Through this game I wanted to transform- in an entertaining way- all the experience I had the luck to obtain working as an archaeologist, mostly around the Acropolis of Athens. I tried to take advantage of some unknown aspects and details of ancient Athenian life, we usually ignore. The game is based in storytelling and mystery solving and I it doesn't require historical knowledge to be played, just desire to think and get immersed (I hope I have managed it....) in the past.
