Get ready, gamers! Bunjil Place and the City of Casey are proud to be part of Melbourne International Games Week — a celebration of games, creativity, and culture.


MIGW is the biggest games event in the Asia Pacific, and a major fixture on the global calendar, with a broad program for industry, educators, and game enthusiasts alike. 


Games bring communities together, with Victoria nurturing a diverse talent pool of creators and developers from a wide range of backgrounds and making games about: First Peoples; women and non-binary people; people with disabilities; and those who identify as LGBTQIA+.


From screen-based experiences to real-life gameplay, we’ve got something for everyone — whether you're a seasoned gamer or just starting out. This jam-packed program spanning over 10 days is proudly presented in collaboration with Connected Libraries, offering hands-on activities, tournaments, workshops, and more.
