Dive Into the Games
Play your way through New York’s biggest showcase of indie titles. Meet the developers, test unreleased builds, and celebrate local talent — Wed, October 7.
Industry & Media Access
Publishers, investors, journalists, and content creators. Morning access to demo builds, scout talent, and connect with creators prior to the public floor opening.
What Game-A-Palooza Is
Game-A-Palooza is a curated indie showcase, not an open-floor expo. Every game on the floor was selected, and the day is built so that selection means something.
The afternoon starts closed. Journalists, content creators, publishers, and investors get the room to themselves — quiet conversations and play sessions with developers. At 1 PM we open the doors, and the same games that spent the morning in front of the industry spend the afternoon in front of you.
This is what New York is building. Come see it.
