Indies can apply to participate in this year's The Rabbit Indie Games Residency until 15 June. An intensive month of exchange, mentoring and a pitch event at Games Ground Berlin awaits.

Since 2022, The Rabbit Indie Games Residencey has been running an unusual programme to support indie developers. From now until 15 June, indie developers can apply to spend a month with a total of 15 indie devs in an old mansion in the idyllic German countryside. They can look forward to evenings spent together by the fireplace exchanging creative ideas, as well as joint workshops and professional coaching. And, as in 2024, The Rabbit is organising its own pitch event as part of Games Ground Berlin.

The month-long residency for independent game developers will take place from 2 November to 29 November 2025 at Coconat in Brandenburg. The programme is funded by Medienboard Berlin-Brandenburg.
