About this event
Eight indie studios. One stage. Zero slides. Each team gets fifteen minutes to put their unreleased mobile game into the hands of a live audience, then the room votes. The winning studio takes home the Curtainrise Cup, a showcase slot at the Winter Tech Expo and serious bragging rights.
Between rounds, play every build at the demo tables, quiz the developers about engines, art pipelines and monetisation, and catch lightning talks on shipping games with tiny teams. Entry is free — just reserve your seat.
What’s included
- Eight live on-stage demos plus open demo tables all day
- Audience vote deciding the Curtainrise Cup winner
- Lightning talks on art, audio and shipping with small teams
- Free snacks and device-charging stations throughout the hall
