Gamers, get ready: GameFest 2015 is set to take over Newtown this December, and it’s going to be big.

The new festival dedicated to theatre, gaming and interactivity boasts a program full of RPGs, immersive social games including board games and room escapes, guest speakers andMario Kart.

The daytime sessions are completely free, with a drop-in drop-out approach to including all gamers, but more advanced games will be ticketed.

GameFest runs from Tuesday December 1 – Saturday December 5 at the Old 505 Theatre on Eliza Street, kicking off from 12pm each day. Get your tickets here.
