GET INVOLVED! HASBRO’S 2026 WOMEN INNOVATORS OF PLAY DESIGN CHALLENGE
Calling all women innovators! Get inspired and submit your idea for the next great mass-market game in Hasbro’s Women Innovators of Play Design Challenge.
The challenge will open to submissions on October 15th and close on November 20th.
This is the fourth consecutive year that Hasbro has hosted a Design Challenge in search of the next great woman-led mass market game or toy. Winners each receive a $10,000 USD prize, a visit to Hasbro’s headquarters in Boston for a full day of programming, and a mentorship session with one of Hasbro’s top women leaders. Past winners have gone on to win industry awards and build successful careers in the indie game design space. Submissions are judged on innovation, mass marketability, fun factor and playability, design and aesthetics, and manufacturability.
