Seattle Indies Holiday Party Sunday December 11 @ GameWorks Seattle
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.
Open Cocktail Bar
We’ll be providing beer, wine, and cocktails! Be sure to bring your photo ID.
Dinner Buffet
An all-you-can-eat Latin Buffet, Pizza & Pasta Bar, and Deserts Bar. Vegan and gluten-free options will be available.
Unlimited Gaming
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.
Photo Booth
This year we’ll have an automated photo booth where you can create your own digital keepsakes.
Dress To Impress (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 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 admin@seattleindies.org 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.
