Drop in and Play is back for October 2024 - and it's our biggest event yet!

Try out 25 new games and meet the creatives behind them at this free, drop-in event in partnership with Ninja Kiwi.

Taking place between 13:00 and 16:00 on Sat 12 October, DCA’s Meeting Room, Create Space and Ground floor will be filled with local game designers as they showcase their newest phone, desktop, console, and VR games. Be among the first to try brand new games in a range of genres, chat with developers and find out more about what it takes to become a game designer.

Drop in and Play is a free DCA gaming event which was first held in November 2012 as part of NEoN Digital Arts Festival and Discovery Film Festival. Our May event is presented in partnership with Ninja Kiwi who have been making awesome games since 2005. Developers of the hit Bloons series of games, Ninja Kiwi are always striving to make the most enjoyable experiences for audiences across the globe from their offices in Dundee, Scotland and Auckland, New Zealand. 

 

It is really fun - everyone and the games are so creative! I would want this to play all the time.
