Seattle Indies Holiday Party 2022

Seattle Indies is excited to bring you our eighth annual Holiday Party! Join us for a special night of festive drinks and merry-making with your fellow indie devs to celebrate a successful 2022, and kick off 2023! Come help Seattle Indies raise money to support our ever growing list of community events in the upcoming year.

This is taking place at GameWorks in downtown Seattle, where we have reserved the entire large venue filled with videogame machines, all of which will be unlocked for this event.

We'll be providing beer, wine, and cocktails! Be sure to bring your photo ID.

An all-you-can-eat Latin Buffet, Pizza & Pasta Bar, and Deserts Bar. Vegan and gluten-free options will be available.

Your ticket includes unlimited access to every arcade game GameWorks has to offer in their huge collection. Prize tickets and prize redemption will not be available for this event.

This year we'll have an automated photo booth where you can create your own digital keepsakes.

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!

You must bring proof that you are fully vaccinated and boosted. The most recent Omicron booster is highly recommended but not required. 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.

This event is covered by the Seattle Indies Code of Conduct and Filming Policy: https://www.seattleindies.org/code-of-conduct/

Note that all Seattle Indies Superhero tier patrons on Patreon at the time of this event creation should have received a code for a ticket to this event. You can join any time before the day of the party to get a code for a free pass as a Superhero supporter.

Do I need to be over-21 to come?

No, our event is all ages! You only need to be over-21, as well have photo ID, in order to be served alcohol by our bartenders.

Do I need to print or show a ticket to enter?

No, all we need is your first and last name that you registered on Eventbrite with.

Can I bring a guest?

Yes! But everyone will need to have their own Eventbrite registration.

What do the ticket costs cover?

$40 helps us cover the cost of this special once-a-year event, which includes an open bar, dinner buffet, venue rental, and service staff. Your donation above that will help the Seattle Indies organization with the numerous events and activities we put on throughout the year! The funds we raise at the Holiday Party will be used to help support the following events as we grow through 2023:

• Our yearly one-day exhibition Seattle Indies Expo, showcasing 25 local games to thousands of attendees.
• Hosting Game Jam events throughout the year, such as the Global Game Jam in January, the Seattle Indies Game Jam in November, and collaborations with other organizations like University of Washington and Pacific Science Museum.
• Supporting developers with the weekly Coffee Break (formerly known as Support Group) meetup
• Providing a monthly social and networking event with the Westside Social.
• Hosting our own quarterly showcases.
• 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 volunteers who are willing to help set up and tear down the party, as well as check people in throughout the event. If you're willing to help us out with this, we'll provide you with a free ticket. To get involved, please email [email protected].
