Overview

The Game Life Contest is back by popular demand! This contest has traditionally focused on projects inspired by video games, however, anything related to tabletop gaming is also encouraged. This is your chance to show us all things game-related!

From game-inspired cosplay to actual video game design, whatever game-themed projects you make, we want to see them! The best Instructables have the chance to win an HTC Vive, a Nintendo 3DS XL bundle or a Sennheiser gaming headset.

We look forward to seeing what you make, but do it quick! By September it will be GAME OVER!

The Game Life Contest is closed.
