Welcome to Game Fiesta Hannover 2026!

The Game Fiesta is taking place for the first time in 2026. It gives indie developers from our community the opportunity to showcase their games to anyone interested. As a visitor, you can talk to the developers and ask questions. Of course, you can also simply try the games yourself. Whether you are a developer, a gamer, or interested in games and their development in any other way, Game Fiesta is the right place for you! Mark the date in your calendar now.

Interested? Register here now!

Admission 🎟️

The event is for visitors aged 18 and over! Admission is also free! So there are no excuses!

Due to the small venue, tickets are strictly limited, and you must select a two-hour time slot when making your reservation.

Getting there 🗺️

The event will take place mainly in the upper hall of the Ricklingen community centre. The centre is easy to reach by public transport. Take tram lines 3, 7, or 13 from Hannover Central Station to Beekestraße. From there, the community centre is south of the stop and within easy walking distance.

The community centre has a small car park of its own, but the number of spaces is very limited. We recommend taking the tram.

Stage program

The stage program takes place in the main hall. Look forward to fascinating insights into game development, a Cosplay Walk, a gaming quiz, several prize draws, and the Mystery Game Hi-Score Chase. Come along, join in, and enjoy an entertaining afternoon full of games, creativity, and fun with us!

The Hannover Game Dev MeetUp mascot is pointing at the event programme beside it.

Portals let you switch between foreground and background dimensions, revealing new routes, shortcuts, and hidden treasures. Grab the loot, master your hook, brave every danger, and sail through the chaos alone or in local co-op with your crew.
