Play and Connect - A Chilled Night of Gaming
Thursday October 23rd 2025
A laid-back, social night for anyone who loves video games. Just like hanging out with friends after school and firing up the N64! Jump into friendly challenges (Mario Kart, Street Fighter, plus more), team up with new people, and, if you are a creator, feel free to bring the game you've been working on to share with everyone .... did we mention there's beer pong?
Event Highlights
Two Gallery Spaces
In addition to the main event space, guests can explore two adjacent gallery spaces showcasing artwork from over 40 talented artists.
Meet Independent Developers & Video Game Artists
Mingle with industry professionals, from game developers to concept artists, in a relaxed, open environment. Whether you're looking to network, exchange ideas, or simply chat about your favorite games, this is the perfect place to do it. If you have a game you've been working on and want to share it, just let us know!
Indie Game Showcase
Have a game you’ve been working on? Even if it’s still in progress, you’re welcome to take part in our Indie Game Showcase, where developers will each have a short slot to share their game with everyone attending. Just send us a message via Instagram (or email [email protected]) to reserve your spot!
Gaming Challenges
Compete in fun challenges, both solo and with friends, including Street Fighter tournaments and other crowd-favorite games on the projector screen.
Beer Pong
Because no gaming night is complete without a bit of friendly competition!
Incredible Artwork
As this event is part of Artober, attendees can check out exhibitions from over 40 artists in the two adjacent gallery spaces.
Relaxed and Sociable Atmosphere
Whether you want to play, watch, or just chat, the event is designed to be an open and friendly space where conversations flow as easily as the games.
Popup: Brownie Shots
Brownie Shots is your go-to indulgence for rich, homemade brownies! Usually spotted at cozy community meetups, these fudgy, bite-sized treats have become a local favorite for their comforting flavor. This time, Brownie Shots is back at Artober for another special popup!

In addition to the vibrant event space, all visitors are welcome to explore two adjacent gallery spaces featuring work by over 40 artists.
