SPIEL Essen 2024 opens beginning of October

There are two public holidays in Germany this year on 3 October: the Day of German Unity and the day on which board game fans from all over the world make a pilgrimage to Essen to celebrate their favorite hobby for four days. That's when SPIEL Essen begins. The largest board game fair in the world with around 200,000 international board game fans and exhibitors from all five continents will make Messe Essen in the heart of the Ruhr region the center of the gaming world from 3 to 6 October 2024. 

SPIEL Essen has grown considerably: With 68,500 square metres of exhibition space, all six exhibition halls used this year are completely filled for the first time, SPIEL 2024 has already broken last year's record and is once again the largest SPIEL of all time. More than 850 exhibitors from over 50 nations will be presenting their new titles and inviting visitors to try out and shop.

Halls structure and interactive plans

Just like last year, SPIEL is relying on a hall concept organized by theme to make it easier for visitors to find their way around the huge exhibition grounds. Following the very positive feedback on the hall structure, there have only been minor fine-tuning and slight shifts this year. For example, the role-playing games area has been expanded to Hall 2 and manufacturers and business exhibitors have moved to Hall 4.
