Hasbro Chooses Winner in Second Indiegogo Crowdfunding Gaming Challenge

The Plot Thickens Game HasbroWith more than 600 entries submitted, the winner of the Hasbro Gaming Lab Spring 2016 Next Great Game Challenge is “The Plot Thickens.” The game is a collaborative storytelling card game by Brigette Indelicato, Mike Callahan, and Thomas Rochelle of Philadelphia, Penn. The second crowdfunding gaming challenge with Indiegogo launched earlier this year with an added layer of competition by opening submissions, for the first time, beyond the U.S.

From Detective Noir to Sci-Fi to Romance editions, players use story cards to tell an improvised narrative and earn “plot points” for every story card used. As grand prize winners among the five finalists, the winners will receive $25,000 and a trip to Hasbro headquarters in Rhode Island to meet with and work with the game development team to help make the game a reality.

Prior to being selected as the grand prize winner, The Plot Thickens game was chosen as one of five finalists in Hasbro’s gaming challenge. Each finalist had a space on Hasbro’s partner page on Indiegogo.com to promote their crowdfunding campaigns up until the challenge wrapped on November 13. The Plot Thickens game raised more than $10,000 from 220 backers.
