A type treatment of Toronto Games Week

Toronto Games Week is a celebration of playable arts and culture! Toronto Games Week 2024 will be on June 13-19 and is a collective coordination of events organized independently by dozens of organizations, creators, curators, and companies.

At Toronto Games Week this year, you might:

  • Frolic in a flickering forest pop-up arcade after dark!
  • Learn open source game tools at a workshop!
  • Play or cheer at a women & femme speedrunning event!
  • Unearth videogame preservation in the Mystery Dump!
  • Sip or stroll the East End Barcade Crawl!
  • Install your game on a Gameboy cartridge!

The week is being kicked off by the XP Summit, a two day industry event that brings together international and local game development talent to learn from each other.

We’re excited to be bringing a few special guests to town that will be appearing in XP and TGW events:

  • Trey Smith, veteran creative director from Vancouver (Hardspace: Shipbreaker, Tony Hawk's Pro Skater 3)
  • Xalavier Nelson Jr., BAFTA nominated narrative designer from El Paso, Texas (Stranger Things VR, Hypnospace Outlaw)
  • Phil Salvador, library director from San Francisco (Video Game History Foundation)

See the in-progress schedule!

See pictures from last year!

If you’d like to run a TGW event yourself, there’s still time to get in on the fun! We’re open to including board/escape room/theatrical/LARPing -- playful culture of all sorts, not just screen based games!
