The Games Exchange is an event where we bring games from our neighbours to Australia, and vice versa! In collaboration with developers from other regions or sister industries, we showcase international indie games locally for playtesting and feedback. In exchange, we send off a curated list of Australian games to showcase on their end!

This time, we're collaborating with Auckland Makes Games to bring several games from Aotearoa over to Sydney for you to try out! In return, we've sent off a variety of Australian games for those in Auckland to enjoy.

It's free to attend, but RSVP and grab a ticket to help us sort out catering! There'll be plenty of free food and drinks as you check out the games. Come hang out and celebrate the variety of games out there 💛

The lineup of Aotearoa games we'll be showcasing:

Dream Team Supreme by Big Adventure
Bashful Adoration by KittyWampus
Dungeon Baller by Lazy Bones
Denari by Astronaut Diaries
Sludgineers by Snickerdoodle Games and Funk Games
Doomsday Diner by Space Rock Games

The lineup of Australian games we're sending to Aotearoa:
