Drop In and Play x Dare Academy 2026

Drop In and Play returns for September 2026 and we’re teaming up with Abertay’s DARE Academy once again. Drop in and Play at DCA is sponsored by Ninja Kiwi.

Try exciting new games and meet the developers behind them. Our September event is free, drop-in, and suitable for gamers of all experience levels aged 10+.

There are six games from developers at Abertay University’s DARE Academy. DARE Academy is Abertay University’s premier games design competition, challenging undergraduate students to work in teams to develop original game concepts while receiving support from industry mentors and academic staff.
