BostonFIG BostonFIG celebrates independent tabletop and video game developers in New England and beyond!

The Boston Festival of Indie Games celebrates independent game development in New England and neighboring regions. Our goal is to create an inclusive environment for everybody who enjoys and appreciates games in whatever shape or form. The festival seeks to support and showcase the efforts of independent game developers, as well as youth programs focused on game development and related fields. We

encourage attendees of our annual festival to participate and play games in different formats: video games, location-based games, tabletop games and more. The games featured at the annual festival are innovative and refreshing, demonstrating both the budding and the established talent of game makers in the American northeast. The Boston Festival of Indie Games is a registered non-profit with the State of Massachusetts, dedicated to fostering the next generation of game developers. Through youth and small-business outreach initiatives culminating in the yearly festival, the Boston Festival of Indie Games strives to strengthen the game development industry of New England.

A thing that surprises people: BostonFIG is 100% volunteer powered. No paid staff, no corporate owner. Just a 501(c)(3) nonprofit and a crew of people who love indie games.

Every ticket and every sponsorship goes back into the festival and our year-round programming. Thanks for playing with us!
