Animation has the power to transport you to other worlds and realities. But by adding the element of interactivity, games allow you to actually live in those worlds and to experience things you could never experiences as your fleshy human self! This year at Kaboom, you get the chance to battle evil itself and to solve mysteries as a tiny fox, to make friends throughout an insect world while spinning webs and riding a skateboard, to escape a possessed arcade as a unicorn and to explore an exotic underwater world... IN SPACE!!!! These games will entertain, frighten, amuse and inspire you from the comfort of our gaming areas in Utrecht and Amsterdam.
Entrance is free of charge, opening hours are:
Elephant's Graveyard is a short but sweet arcade horror game, where you indirectly control a pink elephant through a graveyard. Try not to break anything or it will cause unwanted attention of the undead inhabitants and worst of all the scary engineer.

It's your last chance to escape our inhospitable planet.
A smart and self-aware indie gem, Pony Island is a suspense puzzle game in disguise. You are in limbo, trapped in a malevolent and malfunctioning arcade machine devised by the devil himself. It is definitely not a game about ponies.

Oh, what a lovely day.
