Creative Gaming Award Show

Christiane — Sun, 09 Sep 2018 12:59:14 +0000

Again, the awarding ceremony on Saturday is the celebratory ending to the festival. By then, the jury had had several days to play the nominees and talk to the developers about their games. On this evening, they announce the winners of the two categories. Furthermore, the audience award will honor the visitor’s favorite game of the PLAY18 Exhibition.

But that’s not all! Prior to the Award Ceremony, Alistair Aitcheson, creator of The Incredible Playable Show, returns with a brand new interactive game-show where members of the audience get to take part in bizarre and hilarious video game challenges! Glitches, wearable controllers and audience participation clash to turn retro classics into entirely new, totally unpredictable experiences!

After the Award Show there will be a party at the Festival HQ.

Insert Moin Podcast Sofa

Insert Moin – probably the most daily video game podcast in the world – has been broadcasting a new episode about video games and game culture every day since 2010. As part of PLAY18, the presenter Manuel Fritsch will set up a cozy podcast sofa on which he will interview developers and other famous guests of the festival.

Visitors can have a look at the podcast producer live at work and, of course, engage in dialogue with him.

Speakers’ Corner

vera marie — Wed, 15 Aug 2018 22:28:02 +0000

In the Speakers’ Corner at PLAY18 everyone will be heard! We are looking for your ideas, projects and topics around the digital gaming culture. You have something to tell and want to share your experiences with games with the festival audience and exchange ideas with them? Then be there and submit your topic! The more innovative, the more astonishing, the more controversial, the better. Be creative and join us so that with your help we can develop the old London tradition of the Speakers’ Corner into a PLAY tradition.

Of course you will get free entry to the festival for the day of your performance!

The Speakers’ Corner will take place on November 2nd and 3rd, 2018 from 9 am to 7 pm at the Hühnerposten. Each speaker has 15 to 30 minutes time to perform on our small stage. Beginning on August 16th you can submit your topic to us. Just fill in the submission form.

Together we will create a new tomorrow!

The Incredible Playable Show

Karin — Wed, 01 Aug 2018 21:25:59 +0000

An interactive comedy show where the audience is invited on-stage to play video games with unusual physical items! Zap each other with barcode scanners, dance around in WiFi-connected power belts, and join forces to crack fiendish codes.

You’ll play Pac-Man with inflatable bananas and prove your strength by becoming the mighty Power Rangers. After The Incredible Playable Show you will never look at video games the same way again!
