The Game Fiesta is taking place for the first time in 2026. It gives indie developers from our community the opportunity to showcase their games to anyone interested. As a visitor, you can talk to the developers and ask questions. Of course, you can also simply try the games yourself. Whether you are a developer, a gamer, or interested in games and their development in any other way, Game Fiesta is the right place for you! Mark the date in your calendar now.
Interested? Register here now!
The event is for visitors aged 18 and over! Admission is also free! So there are no excuses!
Due to the small venue, tickets are strictly limited, and you must select a two-hour time slot when making your reservation.
The event will take place mainly in the upper hall of the Ricklingen community centre. The centre is easy to reach by public transport. Take tram lines 3, 7, or 13 from Hannover Central Station to Beekestraße. From there, the community centre is south of the stop and within easy walking distance.
The community centre has a small car park of its own, but the number of spaces is very limited. We recommend taking the tram.
So you don't get lost at our event, here is a site map. If you ever need help finding your way, feel free to ask us anytime!
The stage program takes place in the main hall. Look forward to fascinating insights into game development, a Cosplay Walk, a gaming quiz, several prize draws, and the Mystery Game Hi-Score Chase. Come along, join in, and enjoy an entertaining afternoon full of games, creativity, and fun with us!

Fortress Fight Kingdom is a medieval castle card duel: build your castle, lay siege to your opponent's, and plunder its ruins. Two players face off against each other; resources grow every round, and each card is a decision between construction, attack, and magic. You can win in three ways: completing your own castle, destroying your opponent's, or filling a resource stockpile. 72 cards, five leaders with unique starting bonuses, and a hidden shield for bluffing ensure that no two games are alike. Playable solo against the AI on three difficulty levels, or online against other players (quick match, private rooms, friends list, ranked leaderboard). It runs directly in the browser on PC and smartphone, and is now available in 20 languages.

Rocket Beard is a physics-based 2D twin-stick shooter with Metroidvania DNA and a story that does not take itself too seriously. You play a rocket-powered robo-chameleon pirate, travel through bizarre dimensions, hunt for treasure, build your crew, and try to somehow piece a collapsing universe back together. Imagine Ratchet & Clank-style storytelling with a little Futurama humour, Angry Birds physics, a crew adventure like One Piece, and robo-jellyfish antagonists with an unhinged Minion vibe. Each planet is its own small biome with unique enemies, mechanics, and secrets. Portals let you switch between foreground and background dimensions, revealing new routes, shortcuts, and hidden treasures. Grab the loot, master your hook, brave every danger, and sail through the chaos alone or in local co-op with your crew.
