Maybe you already heard about our Bobby Car race at gamescom 2019. Like last year, our members met on the last business day to heat up the business area. Eight drivers drove for fame, honour and for a good cause. Once again the winning Bobby Car will be handed over to Gaming Aid to be auctioned off during the German Developer Award.
This time the race was presented by the German Let’s Player and musician Sarazar.

The winning Bobby Car will be signed and auctioned for a good cause to support Gaming Aid e.V. – a huge thank you to our sponsor BIG for the provided Bobby Cars.
We’re looking forward to seeing you at our receptions and hope you will be rooting for us at the Bobby Car race. But please, feel free to drop by the various booths anytime and see, what the German games industry has to offer.
Please be aware, unlike the years before, the Made in Germany area switched halls and is now located in hall 4.1 within the business area, which makes it even more accessible for you directly through entrance west, the business entrance.
We will provide you with a complete overview of what will happen at what time in the Made in Germany area next week. But already, please note in your diaries that we have switched halls and are now located in hall 4.1 in the business area. That makes it even more easy for you to reach us, as our hall is directly accessible through entrance west, the business entrance. We are looking forward to seeing you all there at one time or another. Make the best of the gamescom and maybe try to catch up on sleep already beforehand… It´s sure going to be exhausting days 🙂
Yesterday it was decided that Gamescom will remain in Cologne for the forseeable future.
For 2019 it already was clear. It also was clear that we will have a Made in Germany area again in the business area and that some of our Games Germany members offer a place at their booths.
Please check out their offers and see whether you are eliglible:

Whether you will become an exhibtor at one of our booths or whether you will be a visitor, we are looking forward to seeing you latest at gamescom, if not earlier, eg at the GDC or Nordic Game or…
it was a great gamescom in Cologne last week, wasn´t it?
We loved being there and having great meetings with all of you, whether you are German Games industry or from abroad.
Hopefully our efforts with the Made in Germany Area in hall 3.2 were of help to you to be more easily found, if you are Geman or to find the Germans, if you are from abroad.
Same goes for our schedule, giving you an overview what will happen when and wher in that area.
One thing we were asked about often was the Bobby Car Race, so here is the quick story:
Thursday in the afternoon things slow down a bit in the business area and we thought we could spice things up a bit. By racing through the hall. On toy cars for kids.
Each booth in the Made in Germany Area nominated one driver for that race.
Porsche sponsored us the race cars.
And we didn´t just do it for the fun of it:
The winning Porsche car will be autioned off by Gamind-Aid at the Deutscher Entwicklerpreis 2018.
If you don´t know Gaming-Aid, check them out here
There will be a clip of the race coming up soon, and some pictures on facebook.
So check it out, if you missed it live.
And already put it in your diary for next year.
It was fun to race and as we were told also fun to watch.
And even more so, as it is for charity.
Start packing and head for Cologne…Evoke, Devcom and all kinds of games related events are coming up. And of course the biggest of them all…the gamescom.
Meet us there. We are in the business area in hall 3.2 where you can find us in the „Made in Germany“ area.
And to make it even more easy for you we have again done a schedule of events hapenning in that area during the business days.
