LGBTQIA+ Gaming Session @ Fortress

Grab your controllers, level up your inclusive vibes, and join Melbourne Gaymers for a chill, 18+ gaming afternoon designed for queer folks and allies who want to play without pretence or pressure. Whether you’re into Mario Kart, indie puzzle games, or just want to watch others play and cheer from the couch — you’re welcome here.

This isn’t about competing — it’s about connecting. We’ll have consoles set up, comfy seating, and zero judgment. Bring your own headset if you like, or borrow one on the day. Snacks will be available, and the space is fully accessible with step-free entry and gender-neutral restrooms.

Curious about what games are on deck? Think classics like Smash Bros, Overcooked, Animal Crossing, and a rotating selection of indie gems. Don’t know how to play? No worries — friendly helpers and guides will be on hand to show you the ropes.

This session is curated with care — your safety, comfort, and fun are our top priorities. Our community guidelines are zero-tolerance for harassment, exclusion, or disrespect. Everyone’s welcome as long as you’re here to play nice.

Got questions? Check the FAQ page for details on arrival time, accessibility, food options, and ticketing. Refunds are available up to 7 days before the event — just reach out via the ticketing page or through our socials.

Come as you are. Play how you like. Leave with new friends — and maybe a high score.
