Talk & Play — 2026 dates:

• February 23

• April 22

• September 9* (TBC, see note below)

• November 11

Registrations to attend the event will open exactly 2 weeks before each event starts, at 11 AM Berlin time on our Meetup group.

Talk & Play is a free event taking place since 2013 every two months (with the occasional break due to a pandemic) that provides the opportunity to game enthusiasts, players and makers to meet and exchange knowledge in a friendly, relaxed and safe environment.

Everybody’s welcome, regardless of their background and knowledge level: if you like games, we’ll make sure you have a good time! Important: this is NOT an event only aimed at developers!

The event is structured in two parts:

– TALK: Short game-related presentations + announcements from the community

– PLAY: All participants are welcome to bring games they’ve made or are still working on – a perfect opportunity to discover and play new games, collect feedback and, who knows?, maybe find collaborators for future projects

Our Safe Space Policy encourages the behaviour at Talk & Play. We request that everyone who is affiliated with and participates to the event honours it.

The event series is funded by Medienboard Berlin-Brandenburg and sponsored by Happy Broccoli, the Berlin indie game studio behind the Duck Detective series. A huge thank you to both for their support. If your company or game studio is also interested in becoming a sponsor: please get in touch!

Talk & Play is organised by the Gamestorm Berlin e.V. 

* In September we’re planning to run a special, bigger edition of the event at a different venue. Because of this, the date of the September edition might change. Join our Discord, keep an eye on our social channels or join our mailing list for updates!
