FXP is designed to give computer science, art, design and English students the opportunity to come together as teams to compete in an exciting multi-disciplinary challenge, which celebrates and rewards outstanding technical and creative skills. FXP comprises three key strands – computer games concept design, computer games development and, new for 2019, creative writing and illustration.

Incorporating elements of the national curriculum, FXP aims to provide students with an important connection between what they learn in the classroom, their further and higher education options, and the exciting career opportunities right on their doorstep.

Each year hundreds of students, aged 13-19 (Year 8 – 13, and FE) participate, with the support and expert mentoring of industry volunteers from companies including Jagex, Arm and Table Flip Games, as well as course leaders from Anglia Ruskin University (ARU). Entry is open to schools and colleges from across East Anglia.

The initiative was developed by Cambridge Regional College, Jagex, North Cambridge Academy, and Conscious Communications, and, thanks to its sponsors and supporters, the FXP weekend is completely free for participating teams.
