Insight into the Education Landscape: At the Indie Game Fest, pupils can find out more about educational institutions and their training and study programs. Lecturers will be on-site to answer visitors’ in-depth questions about educational opportunities.
Meetings with Content Creators: By working with LetsPlay4Charity and Gaming Aid we are able to invite content creators and offer them the opportunity to conduct activities with their communities.
Game Art You Can Touch: In collaboration with The Art of Games, we illustrate the process from the idea to the finished game as art on canvases, acrylic, and framed art prints to make it “touchable”.
Our location

Arriving via the A3 motorway, take the exit Köln Deutz and change to the A4 towards Aachen. Take the next exit to Köln Deutz again and cross the bridge. Continue straight after the bridge and go through the underpass. After the traffic light, take the first right after the bus stop. Then turn right again onto Kaygasse. You will not miss the tower there! On-site underground parking is available for € 29.00 per day.
By suburban railway (S-Bahn):
Take line 3, 4, 16 or 18 to the stop “Poststrasse”. From there, it takes only 2 minutes on foot to reach the tower.
