The international Spieltage SPIEL has been the world's largest public fair for games since 1983 and offers a comprehensive presentation of the national and international games landscape every year. As an important meeting place for the industry, it is the perfect platform for launching new products and offers the opportunity to bring together trade partners, licensees, journalists and game enthusiasts.

The fair showcases the entire spectrum of games:

• including board games,
• family games,
• electronic games
• Parlour games
• Family games
• Adult and children's games
• Strategy games
• Adventure games
• Role Playing Games
• Fantasy games
• Miniature games
• Science fiction games
• electronic games
• toys and many more.

A special concept of the fair is that interested visitors have the opportunity to play and also buy the products at each stand.

In 2024, over 204,000 play-loving visitors from 85 countries attended the trade fair and received advice on products, innovations and concepts from 923 exhibitors from 52 countries on a huge exhibition area of 68,500 m². A total of around 1,562 new products were presented.

The German Games Award and the innoSPIEL Innovation Award will once again be presented at the upcoming SPIEL 25. This year's event will thus once again be an important event for the games industry and everyone interested in games and toys.
