UK Games Expo 2025

This year we attended the UK Games Expo for the first time.

Over 70,000 people wandered its stalls over the three days, filling four huge halls at the UK’s biggest exhibition centre (the NEC, Birmingham). As first time visitors and exhibitors, we were overwhelmed by the sheer size of it and the thousands of wonderful board gamers we met. 

Over the three days, we ran constant demos of Escape From Pompeii at two tables, participated in the very first year of the hugely popular UKGE pin collective, and gave out hundreds of free stickers and flyers.

It was amazing to speak to so many enthusiastic gamers and hear the heartwarmingly positive feedback from everyone who saw and played the game.

It was also a brilliant start to the Escape From Pompeii Kickstarter, which launched with a bang.

It was an absolutely incredible (and exhausting) three days. Thanks for having us, UKGE.
