Powered by the Times of Games, Web3 Gaming Labs brought together game developers, Web3 founders, creators, and ecosystem enablers for an in-depth exploration of blockchain-powered gaming. Hosted as an official side event of the Global Games Show, the session served as a collaborative forum focused on innovation, experimentation, and real-world adoption of on-chain gaming models.

The panel discussion titled "Game On-Chain: Opportunities and Challenges in Blockchain Gaming" was really the core of the session, which explored both the potential and the practical hurdles of integrating blockchain technology into modern game development. Rebecca Dance Shuker, co-founder of s-inc.world, shared insights on building decentralized gaming experiences that put the focus on creativity, ownership, and inclusive participation. Bertie Wrench, founder of Bad Bikers and Death Race, gave a developer-first perspective on gameplay design, user onboarding, and finding the balance between fun and financial mechanics in Web3 games.
The panel was moderated by Katerina Zemskova, Head of Agency at Formula by Cointelegraph, who guided the conversation toward actionable insights around scalability, user experience, and market readiness. Onboarding Web2 gamers, infrastructural limitations, and clarity on the value proposition for players were some key pinch points discussed during the session.
The next aspect that took place in the panel is the transition to the open mic portion entitled "Stories that Inspire Action." This portion serves as a venue for the participants to share their own experiences and projects as well as ideas. Moreover, each person who participated in the open mic is given the chance to speak for 3-4 minutes, ensuring that the atmosphere is inclusive so that collaboration could take place. The open mic portion showcases the diversity of the talent pool in the Web3 gaming community.
The event culminated with an open networking session, allowing attendees to network with speakers and others. Developers, founders, investors, and others from the industry met to exchange insights, explore possibilities for collaborations, and discuss ways to work together for services such as gaming, blockchain, and infrastructure.
Web3 Gaming Labs, which was officially organized as part of the Global Games Show, further underscored the continued momentum that is building in support of on-chain gaming as a foundational element of Web3. The session served to underscore that innovation, experimentation, and collaboration are helping to drive the emergence of Web3 gaming.
