Design Festa 2024

Over 100,000 people walked through Design Festa Tokyo over a mid-November weekend in 2024, perusing over 600 booths of indie designers’ work. Ghoul had a great corner booth position in the toys and games section, and we focussed on showing off our tile game.

We were lucky to be positioned close to the cosplay red carpet, and there was a constant stream of wild outfits on display. My favourites were those wearing dark perspex helmets with animated LED displays where their faces should have been, the wearers wandering around gingerly trying not to bump into anything.

I talked myself hoarse over the two days, selling 30 units of the game and 3 canvases. The sales were welcome, but the best kick was in seeing all the amazing new invention on display.
