PLAY! TableTop Night September

 is our monthly meet-up for playful makers, programmers, enthusiasts, producers, artists, designers, curators, and all people interested in game making. At Colliders, we brainstorm, present our progress, give feedback, enjoy creations and, of course, we play!

Colliders purpose is to develop a 

around indie/art house game makers and playful artists. With Colliders, we want to support each other and create more opportunities for collaborations and exchange.

Colliders has a different theme and game selection each month, in 

, aligned with the theme of GOGBOT Festival: 

We will have the latest game by Amanita Design portraying a city orchestrated by omnipresent loudspeakers, and another handcrafted game about how a grandfather who went to war changed behavior. We will also present a classic anti-adver game about them eat industry. Lastly, we prepared two games about TV broadcast, one that put us in the role of a technician, deciding what should be watched, and the other about someone being broadcast.


“In the dystopian city of Phonopolis, life is orchestrated by omnipresent loudspeakers that dictate every aspect of people’s existence. Citizens, bound by the authoritarian Leader's commands, work in unison to achieve his grand vision.”


"my granddad came home from the war a changed man. he was bitter, quick to anger and aggressive."

"Making money in a corporation like McDonald's is not easy! Behind every burger there is a complex process you need to master: from pastures to the slaughterhouse, from restaurants to branding. You'll discover all the dirty secrets that made us one of the biggest company in the world."

"Take control of the National Nightly News. With the nation's eyes fixed on your choices, it’s up to you to decide what gets broadcast."


"Tune in to American Arcadia, the most popular reality tv show on the planet! In this retro-futuristic 70s metropolis all citizens enjoy a life of luxury and comfort... and are completely unaware that they're being broadcast 24/7! "

Turns out the secret sauce to press coverage is the same as most other things: research, dedication, kindness, and spreadsheets! Success not guaranteed, but by pitching your games to journalists, you will hone into how to best describe it, why it matters, and what future projects will get the attention you deserve.

Didre Schutte of Studio Beautiful & Beast explains how coming from a completely different background she learned game development over the summer. How did she come into this field and what does she have now? And what was the summer school program and the scene in Berlin like?

COLLIDERS Meet-up – Propaganda

This event is full , keep an eye on our hotglue blog for new events :

In the first weekend of September we are coming together for a truly collaborative in person game jam!

We invite 12 participants to create live-action role-playing games (LARP) that foster self-expression and connection in physical and digital spaces. Building on the previous activities, we will explore how we can use simple technologies (think a chat, a discord server, a notepad, the lost art of a phone call) in our LARP design to connect players across distances.

One of the games designed during the jam will be played during the LARP showcase at Nerdlab and Sickhouse in February 2027.

If this sounds like a big challenge, it's because it is! But worry not, you will be guided by amazing mentor Jana Romanova.

Jana is a multidisciplinary artist working with games, performance, and photography. Through role-playing, social games, and various playful experiments, she researches liminal spaces, (in)visible systems that shape us, and what agency, care, and ecological imagination might look like when we playtest other ways of living together.

This is an activity for 12 participants - youth workers, artists, game designers, LARP enthusiasts and curious humans. The only requirement is that you have played a LARP before and you are interested in designing one. We will give priority to young people 18-30 years old.

We provide accommodation in the hostel, food and for participants traveling from abroad - travel.
