Pixicade transforms hand-drawn sketches into playable video games using colored markers and paper. Kids and teens can create games without prior drawing experience—simple doodles like wheels or complex designs like knights and dragons become animated, interactive experiences. The system works by capturing drawings with a smartphone or tablet camera, instantly converting them into playable games. The set includes five washable markers and a 100+ page interactive booklet that teaches game design concepts, plots, and mechanics. Users can create unlimited games across seven different game types, including platformers, slingshot challenges, mazes, and head-to-head combat. Games can be shared in the Pixicade arcade for others to play. Designed for ages 6 to 13, Pixicade encourages creativity and problem-solving while providing a structured yet open-ended play experience. The process involves drawing game elements, capturing them digitally, and refining gameplay through iterative design. No additional software or technical skills are required.
