​Free and open to the public to attend.

​List of games available for reservation and purchase in-person are coming soon.

• ​Browse and Buy – dozens of super creative limited-run games.

• ​Enjoy the GMW Play Zone – a casual table area where you can play your purchased games immediately and play drop-in sessions of other locally made games.

• ​Learn How Games are Made – Meet local designers and chat with our friendly volunteers. We’re happy to share our knowledge about game making and working in the industry.

• ​Hangout Afterwards! – At 3 PM, Guildhouse opens for regular business hours. Immediately following GMW, there will be a designer hangout from 3 PM onwards where designers and any others interested can co-work, run playtests, network, play games, and socialize.
