PROGRAM 2025

Kids (ages 7 and up) work together to create a simple game with their own rules and components. It’s a fun, hands-on activity that works great for mixed-age groups and even families!

Join the Street Fighter 6 Tournament with prizes from HEO, hosted and moderated by Sven! Step into the arena, test your skills against other fighters, and see if you have what it takes to rise to the top!

Did you see that MC Mario Kart clip that went viral? Well guess what...the one and only Dubtendo crew are drifting their way from the UK straight into Games Ground with the almighty Double Dash Disco! Get ready to jump into a Mario Kart tournament like no other - fuelled by high-energy Drum & Bass, and on the mic the unstoppable MC Zeph Miles.

Ready to show off your hard work to our amazing jury and audience? The Games Ground Cosplay Contest returns to the stage, hosted by the wonderful Sakide! Register for the contest here.

Join us for an exciting workshop featuring the Berlin-based company, AudioCreatures GmbH, as they guide you on a journey through the world of game audio and sound design. With a focus on hands-on learning, this workshop is perfect for both aspiring and experienced audio enthusiasts!

Join Olaf for the most epic and hillarious Gaming Quiz of the year! Challenge your friends with tricky questions about your favourite games. Can you recognise games from their minimaps, health potions, or iconic sounds?

Form your crew of 3–5 right at the event, suit up, pick a wild band name, and rock out on stage with Battle of the Bands on Xbox 360! Two rounds, epic performances, and prizes for the best band and solo act — hosted by Daniel and Chefspatz, who kick things off with a killer opening act!
