Events in the games industry are a great way to learn, network and establish what next steps you can take to becoming a game developer. But what do you do when those events happen nowhere near you, with expensive ticket and travel barriers? Many working class youth are left out of opportunities to grow and discover for reasons out of their control. Which is why at Into Games, we’re working to bring the games events to them - completely for free. This winter, help us fund more of these incredible events so that everyone has the ability to learn about making games.

Get Into Games Barnsley

Get Into Games is our free careers festival designed to bring local studios, educators, and young people together for a full day of inspiration, hands‑on learning, and real talk about what it takes to build a creative career in games. By touring multiple cities, we’re able to inspire thousands of young people every year to learn about the world of creating games, without the added cost of travel and ticket entry.

In October, Into Games braved Storm Boelo to bring another day of career discovery to the city of Barnsley, home to incredible studios like Coal Supper, the indie team behind the hit game “Thank Goodness You’re Here!”. Visitors were able to chat with developers, listen to talks and recieve 1-2-1 portfolio and career advice, all completely for free.

We have big plans to bring Get into Games back to cities in 2027, so we can continue to provide advice and opportunities to those that haven’t had the chance to learn what is out there and how to achieve it in actionable steps.

How you can support us and get a great deal back

Want to make a positive impact on a young person, and get a bunch of incredible games and an amazing community in return? Slow Game Club, owned by Into Games, is the indie game discovery club that hand picks an incredible game for you to dive into every month.

The theme for 2027’s games is “Stories Only Games Can Tell”. Games have the power to tell stories in ways other mediums never could. This year we're exploring some of the best examples. Every game a 2026 release. Every game a banger.

Our 2026 membership helped fund over 100 state school gaming workshops, 6 free Get Into Games careers festivals for over 3000 young people, student employability training for hundreds of games students, and 20 real paid internships for working class talent across the UK. This year, every single membership will fund all that, and more.

Our 2027 membership is available now, with 100% of proceeds going to support Into Games work next year.
