Ludicious – Zürich Game Festival is a video game industry and development convention in Zürich, Switzerland. The most recent edition took place from January 31. to Feb 3. 2019.

The festival has taken place in 2014, 2016, 2017, and 2018. In 2018, the convention consisted of a three-day schedule of presentations and activities aimed at game developers and publishers, attended by about 700 people, and of a two-day free-to-access programme aimed at the general public, particularly families and children.[1] The conference program was organized in cooperation with the Zurich University of the Arts and the ETH Zurich, which curated summits on visual aesthetics in games and game technologies, respectively.[2] Since the beginning in 2014, the annual SGDA Swiss Game Awards are also presented during the opening gala of Ludicious.[3]
