Last year due to the high demand in increase in quality of the games we were able to expand SIX to take over two full ballrooms in Hilton Motif Seattle and we will be returning to do the same on Sunday September 6th, 2026 with a full day of incredible locally-made indie games and the developers who made them. SIX is a free one-day celebration of independent games and game creators from the Pacific Northwest and beyond. We consistently hear from attendees that SIX is one of the best events of that entire weekend alongside the other major gaming expo happening around the corner from SIX and in 2025 we welcomed nearly 5,000 guests who came through to spend the day checking out the games and chatting with the developers and community members.

We also combined SIX Online, our streaming showcase of the games with our in-person showcase and managed to interview all 40 teams on the live stream and plan to do so again to help build the buzz both in-person and online for our biggest day of the year.
