SPIEL 2025 will occur as a live event between 23.10.2025 and 26.10.2025. The trade fair will be held at the Messe Essen in Essen, Germany.
SPIEL has almost 40 years under its belt and within that time has risen to be a defining moment for players in the board game business, which in recent years has been in a state of revival. The international fair is based in Essen, Germany and occurs every October for four days. Edition after edition, SPIEL has not stopped growing. The edition in 2019 registered its highest-yet attendance – more than 1200 international exhibitors and 209,000 visitors in total at the modern exhibition halls of Messe Essen. That’s more than a reason enough to head on over to SPIEL.
Board games have long since evolved beyond being a simple children’s toy. Today the market is a multi-million-dollar industry with games targeting the whole family, casual players and serious gamers who want to be challenged. SPIEL reflects these tastes in its variety of product groups that include board, card, movement, children's, adult, interactive, skill, computer and digital games. They also include comic and action books, as well as original comic artwork. Attendees can also examine action figurines. The audience is definitely varied, but it is safe to say the majority consists of end consumers.

The 2021 edition of SPIEL took place as a hybrid event. The trade fair consisted of a face-to-face exposition and a complimentary digital platform. The edition featured around 600 exhibitors who presented more than 1000 new products. The strict Covid-19 prevention measures that were put in place at the Messe Essen included social distancing regulations.
SPIEL 2022 was held as a face-to-face trade fair between 04.10.2022 and 09.10.2022 in Messe Essen. The venue did not include Covid-19 safety measures due to the removal of the related pandemic restrictions. The event received 147,000 visitors (a 53% increase in visitor participation rate compared to the previous edition) and 980 exhibitors from 56 nations. The exhibitors presented over 1,800 board games.
SPIEL ESSEN 2023 occurred as a live trade fair between 05-08.10.2023. It took place in Messe Essen and, similar to the 2022 format, did not feature coronavirus precautions. The iteration was attended by approximately 200 000 attendants.
SPIEL Essen 2024 was a live trade expo that occurred between 03-06.10.2024 in Messe Essen. It presented the wares of more than 900 exhibiting firms from 52 nations. It was attended by around 200 000 visitants.

Hi Michael, Megan,
Thanks – the stay at Hotel 9 Paquis was very nice.
Megan – thanks for our cooperation these last years with hotel bookings, it’s been very nice dealing with you! 😊
Dear Mark,
Many thanks your email. Nothing to say about your service, perfect ! Appreciate very much your good communication. I was very happy to have for the first time a hotel very close to the ANUGA (which gave me time to do running daily after the exhibitionJ) The hotel was good. It is a pity however that no meal was served (except the breakfast) while the Ibis hotel close to Ibis Budget was serving meals at dinner. I was also disappointed to book for a taxi at the hotel that never came. Fortunately, I went by foot to take a taxi outside in order to avoid missing my train.
All the best to you.
Dear Ben,
The fair was very successful and I really liked the hotel where I stayed with my colleague. It was perfect, right next to the subway and only 15 minutes away from the book fair.
I will use your services again for sure, thank you for making the experience so enjoyable.
Best regards,
Cristina

Dear Tom, Dear Tess,
Thank you for your service, all went well. The only remark is that the hotel does not dispose of many parking slots, so we might reconsider it for next year.
Thanks
Best regards,
Dear Megan,
Thank you very much for your email.
We had a great time in Bologna, and we enjoyed our stay in the Social Hub Hotel too!
We definitely would like to review the preliminary rates for the Social Hub Hotel, and some other hotels close by to the Bologna Centrale Station for the next book fair season.
Thank you very much for your wonderful assistance, I look forward to hearing back from you when everything is ready.
All the best,
Yoko

Dear Christine,
The Novum Hotel Madison Düsseldorf Hauptbahnhof was fine: good service, large rooms and bathrooms.
A bit old-fashioned and a 3 star hotel in my opinion rather than 4 stars.
Breakfast was fine.
Best regards
