About this Event
Seattle Indies is excited to bring you our seventh annual Holiday Party! Join us for a special night of festive drinks and merry-making with your fellow indie devs to celebrate a successful 2021, and kick off 2022! Come help Seattle Indies raise money to support our ever growing list of community events in the upcoming year.
This takes place at the historical Factory Luxe, a beautifully decorated event venue in SODO. A roaring fire pit, holiday lights, and video-game inspired seasonal music will make the evening socializing with your fellow game developers a party to remember for years.
Open Cocktail Bar
We'll be providing beer, wine, cocktails, and punch!
Dinner Buffet
A full Chipotle spread for everyone, with plenty of gluten-free and vegan options. Plus all the cookies you can eat!
Board and Card Games
What's Christmas without accusations of cheating and tears of recrimination? We'll be bringing party games such as Cards Against Humanity, Munchkin, Monikers, and so many more! Please do bring your own games - we'd love to try them!
Photo Booth
This year we'll have an automated photo booth where you can create your own digital keepsakes.
Semi-fancy Dress (Optional)
Use this occasion as an excuse to dress up as fancy as you've secretly longed to! You can come dressed for a Seattle cocktail party, or wear an ugly sweater. Do anything to get into the spirit!
Vaccinations are Required
You must bring proof that you are fully vaccinated (with your last shot being November 28th or earlier). Photos of your vaccination card taken from your phone will be accepted, so no need to bring the CDC card itself. If you believe you've been exposed to COVID-19 or are feeling sick, please do not attend - email [email protected] and we will refund your Eventbrite ticket in this event.

- Highlighting the work of teams in the community through social media activities, such as weekly discussion threads in Facebook and engaging developers on Twitter.
Are there volunteer opportunities?
Yes! We are looking for 12 volunteers who are willing to show up two hours early (5pm) and stay an hour late (2am) to help us set up and tear down the party. There should be nothing for you to do between 7pm-1am, so enjoy the party! If you're willing to help us out with this, we'll provide you with a free ticket.
