Mission

A MAZE. established since 2008 is an international arthouse label in the field of games and playful media that includes independent and alternative game projects, virtual realities and other digital playful dimensions.

A MAZE. is since 2020 developing on a virtual 3D multiplayer culture experience. It is a space for immersive art, world building, avatars, arthouse games and music performances, festivals and all kind exhibitions. Our A MAZE. / SPACE is available for Windows, Mac, Quest link and PC VR (Rift, HTC Vive) .

Interdisciplinary game and virtual reality centered events and productions transcending media channels and cultures are the signature feature of A MAZE.. We’re producing, consulting and curating festivals, exhibitions, conferences, workshops, showcases, game jams, artist in residence programs and publishing magazines.

A MAZE. is representing the current experimental and artistic movement of thoughtful and reflected playful content in games, virtual reality and playful media.

With our festivals, exhibitions and the pop-up in various creative scenes in countries like Lithuania, Serbia, Hongkong, Croatia, Romania, Palestine, Russia, South Africa, Kosovo, Cuba, UE, Kenya and Ukraine we’re building on a global movement of an independent and meaningful games culture.

Our annual festival A MAZE. / Berlin highlights controversial and subversive games and their creators/ authors with the A MAZE. Awards in six categories. With our selection we foster a diverse and artistic taste beyond the mainstream.
