With 2 weeks to go, things are gathering apace for a crazy weekend of games. We’ve been putting posters up around Edinburgh, including at the Sick Kids.

Welcome back, Skyscanner
Last year flight price comparison experts Skyscanner impressed us when they raised £1.3k towards the SKSP total by turning their office into a 24 hour videogames mecca. Now it looks like they’ll be joining us again!
“Skyscanner as an organisation takes great pride in the variety of charity work that it gets involved in. Being comprised primarily of geeks, a band of Skyscanner employees were naturally drawn to the marathon and the cause.” They tell us on their Just Giving page. If last year was anything to go by, expect some amusing video blogs! Welcome back scanners!
Win Bad Hotel!
Those lovely folks at Leith developers Lucky Frame have given us four codes for their awesome iOS tower defender Bad Hotel.
In our Evening News review we said “The game is colourful, noisy, frantic and difficult, and even Channel 5’s Alex Polezzi would be too busy beating back pterodactyls to care about the dust..”
To win a copy of this cool game, just get on twitter and tweet the following:
I’d LOVE to play @lucky_frame’s Bad Hotel during my @SKsavepoint marathon! Oh and sponsor me to help sick kids: [insert your Just Giving page url here]
Make sure you’re following us AND lucky frame to enter, and have a real Just Giving page set up.
Closes Saturday midnight. We’ll make the draw on Sunday. Good luck!!

Neil’s challenge
One of our participants Neil Gow, whose son had spent 5 days at the Sick Kids recently, has set himself some extra challenges for his marathon, according to his blog.. Apparently he’s unearthed a list of the worst games ever, and he’s looking for people to donate to put him through ordeals such as ‘Garden Simulator’..
‘a list of truly awful abominations of game design that will test my gaming ability and sanity over the course of the 24 hours.’ Neil tells us. Go check out his blog, and donate to put him through hell via his Just Giving page...
