The Boston Festival of Indie Games celebrates independent game development in New England and neighboring regions. Its goal is creating 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 in a free public event, encouraging attendees to participate and play games in different formats: video games, location-based games, tabletop games and live role-playing, amongst others. The games featured are innovative and refreshing, demonstrating both the budding and the established talent of game makers in the American northeast.



Produced under the non-profit auspices of Be Epic, a Boston-area live action games production group, the Boston Festival of Indie Games fosters a community of academic and independent developers creating games for the people.



This year's festival brings a variety of entertainment including:



Talks and sessions including Confirmed Keynote Speakers Robin Hunicke (Journey) and Chris Remo (Double Fine/Idle Thumbs)
