Challenges

Test your gaming might! Can you knock out Mike Tyson in one round? Can you get through Iggy's Castle without collecting any coins? Can you beat any single level in Surfer Surfer? Probably not, but we'd love to laugh at you while we watch you try. Every year we have a hundred new classic gaming challenges for people to conquer. Beat a challenge and win a prize!

Indie Videogames

Come see one of the biggest displays of independent game studios in the world at the MAGFest Indie Video Game Showcase (MIVS)! Independent games are a thriving community where creativity and passion for the craft runs deep. MAGFest invites all independent game studios (or even just one person teams!) to show off their games, and invites all MAGFest attendees to play these amazing creations.

List of Indie Studios

MAGFest offers free exhibit space for indie game studio during all four days of our event. Check out the MIVS page to see the list of studios, or submit your own!!
