Explore games that tell queer stories, imagine queer worlds, and challenge the rules of play. Join us for Queer Game Afternoon at Temple University’s Loretta C. Duckworth Scholars Studio—an interactive showcase and play session featuring games created by queer developers and games that explore LGBTQ+ identities, relationships, and representation. This event will be hosted by Adrienne Shaw (Temple faculty member and founder of the LGBTQ Game Archive) and sponsored by Temple Libraries, the Departments of Gender, Sexuality, and Women Studies and LGBT Studies. Supported by the Art Education and Community Arts Practices Department at Tyler School of Art and Architecture.

From indie games to AAA games, digital to tabletop to VR, we’ll celebrate LGBTQ+ themes and representation in games and interactive media. Drop in, play, discuss, and enjoy free pizza (while it lasts!) as you experience how queerness reshapes the landscape of contemporary gaming. All are welcome—no experience required, just curiosity and an openness to play.
