FAQ - Games Industry Party
- Do I need to buy a Party ticket if I already hold a Full Conference Ticket?
- Which games will be displayed at the showcase?
We will showcase a selection of indie games made in Hamburg. Party guests are invited to play the games and give feedback to the developers. Hamburg-based developers can apply for exhibiting their game in the showcase here.
- Are food an drinks included in the Party tickets?
Our sponsor Overhype Studios treats everyone with a free drink (beer/water/softdrinks; until stocks are exhausted). Apart from that, the tickets do not include free drinks and catering. Drinks (with or without alcohol) can be bought at the bar and we will offer some (free) small snacks. Please note that there aren't a lot of food options in the direct vicinity of the MS Stubnitz, so we recommend to come with a full belly!
