Games for Change Hong Kong Festival 2025

Playing at the New Frontiers

🗓️ 10:00 – 17:00, June 7–8, 2025
📍 Library Extension Building, University of Hong Kong (HKU)
🎮 Theme: Playing at the New Frontiers

We invite you to the first-ever Games for Change Hong Kong Festival, a two-day gathering of changemakers, creatives, educators, developers, researchers, and dreamers who believe in the power of play to spark impact.

Following the success of our sold-out Games for Change APAC-HK event in 2023 and our subsequent interMISSION workshop series, we’re back with a bold new vision: to explore the new, better futures within and brought about by interactive media, and with the license to launch the official Games for Change Hong Kong chapter — proudly, the first ever local chapter in Asia!

The event will feature keynotes, panels, hands-on workshops, and activities with global and regional voices to demonstrate the transformative power of games for education and social impact.

That’s why this year, we’re going bigger and deeper. With the theme “Playing at the New Frontiers”, our 2025 festival expands beyond games in education to examine a broader spectrum of interactive mediums for social impact and education, as well as urgent adjacent topics in the game industry itself — from diversity and inclusion and regional representation to the power of interactive media in addressing issues such as climate change, well-being, and human creativity.

This year, we welcome not only game designers and impact practitioners but also teachers, professors, researchers, and industry professionals who are working both within and adjacent to the world of games.

Whether you’re an educator, student, creative technologist, game developer, or simply someone who believes that games can do more than entertain — if the words Games for Change resonate with you, this festival is for you.

Supported and co-organised by HKU Common Core, the event is FREE for all HKU staff, students, family and friends.
