IndieCade is an international juried festival of independent games. Game types include video games, live-action games, and tabletop games. Independent game developers are selected to demo, screen, and promote their work at the annual IndieCade festival and showcase events.[1][2] IndieCade also includes a conference track featuring classes, panels, workshops, and keynotes.[3] Since 2020, the annual festival has taken place online under the name IndieCade Anywhere & Everywhere.[4]

The IndieCade festival is the only stand-alone festival open to the public in the United States for exclusively independent games.[5] Games are submitted for consideration to the IndieCade festival jury in the early spring and a selection of finalists for the culminating annual IndieCade festival is determined and announced by the fall.[6] Additional games from the pool of IndieCade submissions are showcased at a variety of events each year around the world.

Ben Fritz for the Los Angeles Times called IndieCade "the video game industry's Sundance."[7]
