Gamescom – Koln

Our Gamescom 2025 Experience

Gamescom 2025 has just wrapped up in Cologne, and what an incredible experience it was! This year’s edition was bigger and more diverse than ever before, reaching new milestones in scale and internationality.

✨ Some record-breaking numbers from this year:

  • 1,568 exhibitors from 72 countries

  • More than 357,000 visitors from 128 countries

  • The largest exhibition space ever in the history of Gamescom

Being part of such an event with our very own booth was both emotional and unforgettable. For us at Mad Pumpkins, it was the very first time presenting Movierooms on such a stage, and we couldn’t have asked for a better opportunity.

What Gamescom brought to our studio

Participating with our own stand (Hall 10.1 Booth B26) meant much more than just showing a demo. It allowed us to:

🎬 Connect with players – Hundreds of visitors tested Movierooms, gave feedback, and shared their excitement. Seeing reactions live was invaluable for us.

🤝 Build relationships – We had inspiring meetings with developers, publishers, business developers, and streamers from all over the world. These conversations opened doors for future collaborations and growth opportunities.

📣 Gain visibility – Being part of a record-breaking international event helped us bring our indie project to a much broader audience.

💡 Learn and improve – Organizing a booth from scratch was a huge challenge. From logistics to design, it was a “management sim” in itself (fittingly, just like our game!). The experience taught us skills and gave us insights that we’ll carry into future events.

Looking ahead

We return from Cologne tired but full of energy and ideas. Gamescom 2025 was a milestone for Movierooms and for our studio as a whole. Now, it’s time to keep developing, polishing the demo, and preparing the next steps of our journey.

A huge thank you to everyone who stopped by our booth, tested the game, gave us feedback, or simply shared a smile. 💛 You are the reason why we keep creating!

Stay tuned — the best is yet to come. 🚀
