“10 out of 10 - Dare presents a once in a lifetime opportunity"
"Dare was a great experience. You learn alot about how you cope under pressure. I would definitely recommend it to anyone who wants to test if they have what it takes to make it in games"
"Without Dare I would not have had a chance at getting my job"
"I gained valuable contacts, plenty of experience and a kick-ass job as a direct result of the people there."
"...it gave the entire team a better chance to integrate into the working world after we graduate: we left the competition with a product to put on our show reels, invaluable teamwork skills and further insight into the industry. As the main contact between the team and the industry, it's also helped me get a foot in the door in companies I normally wouldn't have had access to"
"To network with luminaries and heroes within the industry was a dream come true. I entered Dare so that I could create some good pieces for my portfolio. My 3D modelling and animation has improved 50-fold as a result of working with a group dependant on me producing the goods"
"I learned a whole lot about the politics of teamwork at Dare, which is experience you can't get anywhere else. Dare gave me the concrete experience necessary to quickly make it to interview and ultimately to get a job making games... and it was a hell of a lot of fun!"
"The Dare to be Digital competition provided the platform to transform a University project into a high growth business opportunity with huge potential"
