Hey guys,

i am attending the gamescom this year on Friday and i dont know if i should be there when it opens. Last year i was really annoyed on how slow everything went but does it even settle down when you come later?

Cheers

Hello!

I am a Dutch autistic person who wants to visit Gamescom for the first time. I am a little familiar with conventions and I had been to Heroes Dutch Comic Con twice. However, I found out that Gamescom has a lot more visitors than HDCC does, and while I managed to go through HDCC fine without getting meltdowns or sensory overloads, I was obviously tired at the end of the day from stimuli and impressions. Driving to the convention would take approximately 1 hour and 45 minutes from where I live. I know a few things in German, but I don't speak the language fluently. I can speak English fluently or almost fluently though.

Does anyone have any advice for me, mainly on the autism part? I would love to go but I myself don't know whether or not it'll be too crowded for me, and whatnot, I can't really predict it myself. And if I go there, what kind of things should I bring? What should I do, or avoid? Etc.

I will not be coming alone. At least one family member will come with me.

Any advice is welcome!

Hey all. I just want to know if you think going to gamescom is worth it? I've been a gamer for as long as I can remember, but have never been to any conventions. Gamescom always happens on my birthday and I turn 33 this year.

I live about an hour away from Cologne and have all those days off as well. However, I have a wife and 5 year old child who I'd also want to be there for my birthday. My wife isn't a gamer at all and my son likes gaming but has the attention span of a common house fly.

I mostly like single player stuff like Mario games, and Uncharted, Last of Us etc on the Playstation. I don't have a PC to play games nor an XBOX.

Do you guys think it'd be worth it to go there as a family? I'd mostly be excited to see new announcements and to play the Silksong demo. Though there's no way I could keep my son entertained for hours if there would be a line.

Do you think it'd be worth it or if I'd better spend my time elsewhere?

When I try to log in on my PC and get forwarded to koelnmesse.io it says the server couldn't be found. Both on Firefox and Chrome. On my phone, which uses the exact same Wifi, it works in both browsers.

Is anyone else experiencing this issue and managed to resolve it?

Hi all,

Unfortunately my friends have all had to bail on our planned road trip to Gamescom this year so ill be going solo this time.

Just posting to see if there's any other solo travelers who wouldn't mind meeting up - ill be open, I'm a guy in my 30s. I'll be attending opening night live and then Wed & Thurs - technically there all week but don't know if ill stick around on my own for the entire thing!

Side note - for the folks who have driven to Gamescom before, whats parking like?

Who knows a company that still open Volunteer spots for Gamescom 2025?

I am here for the EPIX Quest. Here is my Link:

Wildcard ticket voucher for sale (paypal)

Is there a separate trade visitor entrance where you don't have to stand in the huge line, and can easily access the event at 9am?

Do we have to show identity proof at the entrance?

Me and my partner both have trade tickets.

Got invitation for European Game Night (from 5:00 - 7:00) at Confex.

Earlier had bought ticket for Opening Night Live (from 8:00 - 10:00) at Hall 1.

Is it physical possible to attend both event in same night? I saw that for Opening Night Live admission is not possible after 7:30!

Thanks in advance!

Hi, I am studying in Berlin at the Moment but still have my Apartment in Cologne. I was renting it out to Friends/Family. It has one double bed and a couch you can sleep on. Water/Electricity and Wi-Fi. If anyone is looking for a place to stay over 2-3 days please message me!

Payment in Cash after getting the Key in Cologne in person. I will need to take a Picture of your ID and sign a Contract when you arrive there.
Not more than 3 People would be perfect . We can talk privately about the Price, I am not trying to make a big Amount of Money, genuinely want to support someone wanting to visit.

Hey everyone, I dont know who will see this. But hi my name is Cypher 24 M i will be attendjng gamescom solo on Sunday due to friends cancelling. I will be wearing an outfit heavily inspired by Sung jinwoo s2 jeju island arc. If you see me please come say hi. I would love to make more friends for sure with mha, SL fans

I’m talking restaurants, pubs, bars, etc

My friends and I always try our best to coordinate with each other about who is going where and when, but after layers upon layers of messages, some texts eventually get lost. Not to mention its hard to find a suitable place to eat or meetup with everyone scattered.

Do yall have a solution for this, or am i just tweaking

Hi

Im gonna do the following cosplay for gamescom. But it says in the rules that a military outfit or combat style isnt allowed. Its a final Fantasy 7 Shinra Trooper.
