Festival for games
Welcome to the NEXT LEVEL!

TALK
Where are the games in culture and society?
How do they find their way into educational institutions?
How will you become a game designer? And is it more difficult
to become a female game designer?
Experts from the educational- and business backgrounds
will provide insight and information.

CREATE
In the digital laboratory, you learn everything about laser cutting,
Makey Makey or Tape Art. In the open maker Space,
all ages can try out 3D printers, develop your own games
and create cool robots from everyday objects.

PLAY
Let your inner pig out in the Pig Simulator or search for food
in an interactive ant colony, fight as Jed i-knight, troll around on a
real trampoline, give everything in the eSport tournament
or hang out on the Möbius-Loop - Main thing, you have fun!

INTERACT
In what world would we live if history took a different turn?
How strongly does the Internet influence our concept
of real places? And how do you leave this damned Escape Room
as quickly as possible?
Come to Next Level and figure it out!

JAM
You want to develop games under professional guidance?
Then log on to the multi-day game jam. In addition,
Illustrators and 3D artist will give an insight in their work.
