    Pori Game Day is Pori's most diverse and free gaming event for 13-99 year olds (Under 13 only when accompanied by a guardian and under their responsibility due to the Finnish Film Program Act). This year Pori Game Day is celebrating its 10th anniversary and therefore the event will be bigger than ever and will be held over two days:

    Friday, November 7, 2025 at 6:00 PM-9:00 PM Etkot, city center youth center
    Saturday, November 8, 2025 at 2:00 PM-8:00 PM Main Day, city center youth center

    The event features over 15 gaming venues offering a wide range of gaming experiences: from digital games to table games, and from familiar games to games that cannot be experienced anywhere else.
