trans-tasman celebration of gaming, for all ages
The week-long festival is centered around all things games. Back for 2026, May 1st – May 10th. Whether digital, tabletop or otherwise! It’s our goal to ensure everybody has the opportunity to be included in the magic of games, so we aim to provide events for all demographics. From workshops to pub quizzes, NZ Games Festival has a little bit of something for everyone and we can’t wait to share it with you.
