Where will the MADE be at GDC this year? To kick things off, we're hosting a Halo LAN party at Opening Night at the Ballpark! Come say hi, play a match or two, and prepare for an epic Festival of Gaming all week.

The MADE has brought the game industry map along with other playable exhibits, education initiatives, and even game trivia to GDC over the years. We hope you'll join in this year and share your memories with us!

Some of these artifacts from 2011-2017 are in the MADE’s care as part of our ever-growing collection. In 2011, the MADE began what is now a semi-yearly tradition at GDC: a game industry map for attendees to note all the places they've worked.
#GDC2026 #GameDevelopers @themade
In recent years (2021-2025), the MADE has been a prominent GDC exhibitor, bringing playable retro games to the show floor every year. At the core of our operations, we showcase exhibits honoring gaming legends for you to read, learn, and play.
#GDC2026 #GameDevelopers @themade
Here’s the MADE at GDC from 2015 to 2019. Over these years, you could find the museum operating the Arcade Play exhibits on the expo floor, networking with attendees, and providing playable history around the event.
#GDC2026 #GameDevelopers @themade
In 2014, THE John Romero joined the MADE's Doom Deathmatch at GDC. This is when the museum began a long-standing partnership with GDC, and we’ve brought playable gaming history to the conference ever since.

If you are feeling stressed by current events doing activities that put you in a flow state can help.
“And video games are perfect for flow as long as it's a game that meets and slightly pushes the skill level of the player.” - Kate Sweeny

So, today I'm announcing a new book project... and doing a call for papers: crpgbook.wordpress.com/2025/10/31/t...
It's an anthology of video game history outside the usual US perspective - an accessible & exciting panorama of different realities - and I'll pay 300 USD per article.
Please share :)
