What Is Go Play NW?
Founded in 2007, Go Play NW is a small TTRPG and board game convention focused on creating a welcoming atmosphere for playing fun games and making new friends right here in the Pacific Northwest.
Go Play NW’s Seattle Summer Event is back in person at Seattle's Centilia Cultural Center for 2025! Join us July 18–20 for three days of friends and fun!
Games Galore!
Our event features a mix of scheduled games and pick-up gaming organized through our "world-famous" Donut. We also have a small lending library for those with a willing group but no games to play. We welcome games of all kinds, but we love the weird, old, obscure, and still-in-playtest. If you have a game in the back of your bookshelf you’ve always wanted to play, but never found the right group, Go Play NW is the place to try it out!

Safety First
To maintain a welcoming space, we expect all attendees—visitors and volunteers alike—to uphold our community and safety agreements.
To attend Go Play NW in-person events, you must:
- Adhere to Go Play NW’s Code of Conduct.
- Be 18 years or older, regardless of parental consent.
- Ask permission before photographing, filming, or recording other people at the event.
- Follow our COVID safety policies, which include:
- Providing proof of vaccination within a year of our convention dates or documentation of a negative COVID test within the last 72 hours. If you cannot access a COVID rapid test, we will have a limited number available at Registration.
- Wearing a KN95 and/or N95 level mask or better in all indoor play spaces (provided gratis upon request).
- In addition to these safety measures, we’re providing ample outdoor convention space and placing CR boxes in all indoor spaces without updated HVAC infrastructure.
Help Us Make Go Play NW Happen!
Go Play NW is a social club—that means we’re funded by our members! We don’t have corporate sponsorships or government funding, and we’re limited in the donations we can accept. Your membership in Go Play NW enables us to hold the Seattle Summer event—and because some of the major expenses, like reserving the venue, must be paid in advance, buying your 2025 membership now helps us be sure we can meet those expenses!
Here’s what that looks like for our 2025 membership drive:
