BackerKit is heading to Germany once again for Spiel Essen 2024 — the world’s largest tabletop games convention featuring 4 days of pure gaming bliss. Our favorite game is always figuring out how to fit all the games we bought in our luggage home. 

We will be there from October 3rd-6th in exhibit hall 4 at Booth #4C211. Stop by and play exciting demos throughout the show, take part in our fun “Side Quest” activity, and to learn more about what’s going on with crowdfunding by BackerKit. We’d love for you to stop by, say hello, and tell us about what brings you to Spiel Essen. Be sure to mark us on your map!

At our booth you can expect to:

Participate in Playtests & Demos — throughout the con we’ll be hosting live playtests and demos at our booth featuring an amazing lineup of creators including 9th Level Games, Wise Wizard Games, Rock Stone and Dice, Ta-Te Wu, Play to Z and more!

Follow us on Instagram and Twitter ( or is it “x” now?) for up-to-date demo schedules leading up to the event.

Grab BackerKit’s Crowdfunding Side Quest booklet — this is your ultimate guide to some amazing booths you simply can’t miss. It’s truly an all-star lineup featuring creators and collaborators of all shapes and sizes.
