This is the first EuroVis Workshop on Visualization Play, Games, and Activities that is collocated with the EuroVis conference taking place from June 2-6, 2025 in Luxembourg.
2nd of June 2025, Luxembourg
Our mission is to advance data visualization games and playful activities as dynamic tools for communication, co-creation, and collaborative problem-solving in interdisciplinary environments and contexts.
We consider a data visualization game as an interactive activity or game-based tool that incorporates elements of data visualization to engage people in a playful way.
This workshop will showcase innovative uses of data visualization games beyond education, emphasizing their potential to enrich dialogue, build shared understanding, and inspire creative solutions in real-world contexts.
The half-day workshop will feature an opening and fast-forward session, two hands-on World Café-style sessions for exploring submitted visualization games, and a reflection session for discussing experiences and concluding the workshop.
The full workshop proposal is available here.
Demonstrate visualization games (e.g., card games, digital games, etc.) and engage with the audience by playing the games at the conference, in a World Café setting.
Submit an extended abstract in the VisGames template format. We will publish the extended abstracts in the online blog Nightingale, run by the Data Visualization Society, as well as in the EuroGraphics Digital Library.
A collection of visualization games for diverse audiences (e.g., children/adult learning, data journalists/data scientists/computer scientists/designers) in different scenarios (e.g., onsite, online, hybrid).
Create a platform to disucss new game or activity ideas, exchange experiences, best practices, and challenges while developing visualization games.
The following topics fall within the scope of the workshop, but we encourage broader contributions.
All deadlines are at 11:59 pm (23:59) Anywhere on Earth (AoE)

The workshop's extended abstract will be peer-reviewed by at least two PC members and one workshop organizer.
The maximum length for the extended abstract to the VisGames workshop is 2-6 pages including all images, acknowledgements, and references. We accept both double-blind (anonymized) and single-blind (not anonymized) submissions.
Submissions must be made using the Computer Graphics Forum style, using the conference LaTeX template for workshops. In the template you will find a proposed structure for the extended abstract.
