BOINGA Spring 2025 Game Designer Application

BOINGA Spring 2025 Game Designer Application

On March 22nd, 2025, we're bringing back our indie board game showcase. This year's event will be an all-day affair at High Street Place- a beautiful food hall in downtown Boston. We're aiming for 25+ designers and 150+ attendees. Demoing your game costs $100 for a table, and we're asking all designers to make a good faith effort to sell tickets to four people. For each ticket you sell, we'll refund $10 of that registration fee. You can also apply to book a table to demo a pen-and-paper prototype of a game for four hours for $25. We are currently doing rolling applications- which means if you apply, you should hear back from us either way within a few days. The final day to submit will be end of day Sunday, March 16 or when all the spots book up, whichever comes first.

Would you like to:

Demo one or more games with us in our indie board game showcase for $100 per table for a 10-hour slot? (Please fill out one copy of this questionnaire for each game you'd like to demo)Playtest one or more prototypes with us for $25 for one four-hour slot?
We realize that if your game is just in the early prototype stages, you may not yet have figured out the answers to some of the below questions. If that's the case, just do the best you can, we understand.
What's the name of the game you would like to demo with us?
Have you ever demoed this game with us before at a previous BOINGA event or indie board game showcase hosted by Quirk Moves or BoardGame Empire? (We are giving spot preference to games that people have never seen demoed at our events before)

YesNoOther
Give us a catchy, one-sentence description of your game that will get people excited to play it. This may be used in promotions around the event.
How many players does your game support?
How long does it take to play?
What genre of game is it?
What stage of the design process is the game in? (Paper-and-pen prototype, scheduled to launch on kickstarter, available for retail, etc)
If you had the table space to do so, what's the most number of copies of your game you could simultaneously demo?
Please upload 1-3 photos of your game that we can share as we promote this event. (Designers only showing prototypes do not need to provide pictures.)

We are asking each designer to sell four tickets to the event. Is this something you think you'll be able to do?

YesNo
We are working to create a couple of discount options for people who do not have the financial resources to afford the full $100 for a table. Would you like to be considered for one of these discounts?

YesNo
How much are you hoping to spend?
How many tables would you ideally like to book for this game? If you want to demo multiple copies of the same game, you can book multiple tables to do so. (If you'd like to demo multiple games, please fill out the survey again after you hit submit by hitting the refresh button.)
Is there anything else you'd like to tell us? It could be additional info about your game, ways you'd be interested in being involved in the showcase or anything else you think we should know.
