Since 2007, PLAY has been the world’s first and only festival to combine media art, discourse and education with digital gaming culture. The focus is on the creative use of digital games: inventing, building, crafting, modifying, programming and dancing — anything goes!
PLAY is a festival for anyone interested in gaming, including enthusiasts, gamers, indie game developers, media artists, high school and college students, teachers, educators, researchers and gaming industry professionals, as well as anyone who wants to play and learn through digital games.

The PLAY - Creative Gaming Festival team is made up of media artists, festival organizers, and media educators. They come together from all over Germany to bring the festival to life with their creative ideas.
