brIGDA and SLQ Garage Gamer – One night only

Game lovers… Level Up with us on Friday 12th April for your last chance to play the latest and greatest video games from our State’s best developers after dark. We’re bringing it all back for one night only.

Venue: SLQ Garage Gamer lounge
Date: Friday April 12
Time: 6.00 – 9.00pm

Enjoy unlimited games, mingle with the crowd, rub shoulders with industry peeps, and share a toast to say goodbye to a summer of loving games at SLQ.

We are bringing back local game dev luminaries – our own John Passfield (Right Pedal Studios) and Pras Moorthy (Mana Bar and Kixeye), the game dev community and our friends 4ZZZ Zed Games who will be back to broadcast live and lay down the tunes. brIGDA, Game On and the QUT Creative Industries Precinct will showcase the best of their intense 48 Hour Game Making Challenges from recent years, and present a special screening of the unmissable documentary about the Challenge, the organisers and its participants.

It’s the end-game party you’ve been waiting for. And it’s free.

A cash bar will be available at the venue.
