How much does a game cost?

This is one of the first questions anyone has, and we have sworn to never be one of those places where you can’t find any kind of pricing anywhere. Our game projects start at $5,000 and run upwards of $250,000. That’s a big pricing range, but there’s a huge range when it comes to what a game can include.

Here’s an example of a $5,000 game.

It can be played through by users in 5-7 minutes. The exact script for this game was provided for the project. We were able to create the game using artwork already in our 7 Generation Games art library and public domain images. This game has no data reporting.

Here’s an example of a $10,000 game.

It can be played in 15-20 minutes. The exact script for this game was provided for the project. We were able to draw from our existing artwork library. This game does not have data reporting. This game focuses solely on instructional content without integrated assessment.

Here is an example of a $25,000 game.

It takes about 30-minutes play. The client provided the standards to cover, but 7 Generation Games did all script and educational content development. Game data is tracked and provided via reporting dashboard. The game includes educational instruction and assessment. Incorrect responses lead to additional instruction. Progress within the game is saved so players can leave and log back in.

Here is an example of a $50,000 game.

This game takes about an hour to play. For this project, we worked with the client to convert existing content into a narrative compatible with a digital game format. The game includes both extensive instructional content and assessment of the information covered. Progress within the game is saved and game data can be accessed.

Here is an example of a $100,000 game.

This game takes up to two hours to play through fully and is built to encourage replayability, backed by data showing that players regularly engage with modules one that once. This project includes full data reporting. This project also included multiple game design workshops to develop content that met intended user needs and original artwork development.

These prices are for games playable on the web. Android and/or iOS applications are available as an add-on rate of 10% additional cost for one operating system, 15% for both.
