PLAY is the first and only festival worldwide to unite media art, discourse and education with the culture of digital games. Since 2007, it focuses on the creative utilization of digital games: invent, build, tinker, modify, program, dance, discuss – anything goes!
The PLAY - Creative Gaming Festival opened its doors for the 17th time from November 11 to 16, 2024 and invited all fans of gaming culture and interactive arts to discover the creative potential of digital games - online and hybrid on site at JUPITER Hamburg (Mönckebergstraße 2-4).
You got the Power!
This year's PLAY - Creative Gaming Festival was all about games and politics. How can digital games bring socio-political issues to life? How do they shape social power structures and discourses? What social and political potential lies dormant in digital gaming cultures? And how can we develop games that take everyone into account? These questions were explored in talks, workshops, shows and our exhibition.
