De quoi s'agit-il
This group is dedicated to the Berlin game scene and it's open to anyone interested in games, in all their forms. Everybody's welcome, regardless of their background and knowledge level: if you like games, we'll make sure you have a good time! Since 2013 we've been organising Talk & Play, an event featuring short talks and a showcase of games and game-related projects. Additionally, we've also organised events such as game jams and partnered with other organisations and institutions to promote the local game scene.
In addition to Talk & Play, a series of workshops is in the works.
In between physical events our community keeps in touch through our Discord server, which you are welcome to join: https://discord.gg/jryUJaK. You can find us on Bluesky, Mastodon, Instagram.
We also plan to finally update and refresh BerlinGameScene.com at some point 😅
Our Safe Space Policy encourages the behaviour at Talk & Play and other events organised by us. We request that everyone who is affiliated with and participates to the event honours it.
