Welcome to the Community Hall!
If you’ve been following DreamHack for a while, you know that the heartbeat of this festival has always been you—our passionate and incredible community.
We wanted to take everything that you’re invested in and shown passion for, and give it the spotlight it deserves by bringing it all together under one roof. Enter: The Community Hall.
We didn’t just want to bring back your favourite community content; we wanted to dive deeper, scale it up, and make it bigger, bolder, and better than ever before. Here is a look at what we’ve built for you this year at DreamHack Stockholm, and why we’re so excited about it.
Artist Alley
We didn’t just double down on Artist Alley this year; we tripled it! We expanded from 30 to over 100 incredible artists joining us in Stockholm. That means more original art, unique prints, handcrafted merch, and pure talent for you to explore, buy, and support.
TCG Area
Trading card games are huge for us this year. We’ve built out dedicated spaces for traders, sellers, and competitive tournaments such as Riftbound and MTG. Plus, check out Rip City, a custom setup where you can record your live pack openings. It doesn’t end there as we have a freeplay area to test out your newest decks, trade, and show off your decks.
Tabletop Freeplay
Need a break from the screens? Drop by our Tabletop zone featuring over 100 board games ready to pick up and play. Whether you’re into quick card games, deep strategy, or deck builders, we’ve got a massive library waiting for you.
Photo Opportunities
We know you love a captured memory, so we’ve set up over 10 dedicated photo spots throughout Hall C. Grab your crew, strike a pose, and lock in the memories from this weekend with tons of backdrops, and unique set pieces to choose from.
Chess Party
Grandmasters, casual players, content creators, and coaches, Chess Party is bringing all of Sweden’s chess energy together. Expect a full weekend packed with tournaments, simuls, free play, beginner lessons, meet & greets, and plenty of hype moves across the board.
Meet & Greets
Stop by, say hi, get an autograph, and snag that legendary pic! We’ll have free meet and greets scheduled all weekend, and here is where you can find them.
Community Row
Consider this the ultimate home base for fan groups, niche passions, and local communities. Whether you’re looking for your fellow main or joining a new guild, these groups are ready to welcome you with open arms.
Community Stage
A stage for your communities to put their content for the festival. A cosplay catwork competition, live panels, and pure fan-powered energy all weekend long.
Chill Zone
DreamHack is a high-energy, non-stop action filled place, which means you need a place to reset. The Chill Zone is your mid-festival recharge station. Take a breather, relax with friends, and get your stamina back before rushing back into the madness.
We are ridiculously excited for you to step into the new Community Hall and experience it for yourself. This isn’t just a one-off experiment. It’s a long-term evolution of what DreamHack means to us, and we plan to keep growing and refining it for years to come.
After you’ve taken it all in, explored every corner, please let us know what you think! What worked? What did you love? What do you want to see us add next time? Drop your thoughts, and let’s keep building this together.
Catch you on the floor ✌️
