Thank you for being so transparent: writing up your thoughts, plans, costs, execution, and results. I suspect this article will help others think through and plan similar events.
At Rutgers University, our local Giving What We Can chapter has run the Giving Games several times during the annual Rutgers Day (sorry we never wrote about it). Our situation is slightly different: as a University club we get the table for free, and have dozens of people stop by (larger audience). Unfortunately, the crowd isn’t as well-targeted as in your case; but as a plus-side, i’s very local, and the table is run by members of the club which I think is generally rewarding for them (at least it was for me).
I hope more university clubs take advantage of this inviting and potentially very educational way of tabling!
Thanks, and never too late to have some group members write up the Rutgers event. I think some student groups can use your experience to help inform their own events. More broadly, having these sorts of guidelines is an important component of the EA Marketing Resource Bank project, so if they write it up, the guidelines will have a long shelf life :-)
For anyone interested in learning more, I’m giving a whole workshop about how to do really well at this sort of tabling / large audience set-up at EA Global, at 9am in the Mandrone; I’ll be writing up the whole thing later.

Excellent, based on the surprising number of upvotes on my comment above, lots of folks would find the university-oriented write-up useful
