At Gig Game, we’ve always believed that great games should be easy to run, easy to join, and powerful enough to bring people together—no matter the size of your audience.

Starting April 4, 2026, we’re rolling out an update to our pricing designed around one simple idea:

Give hosts more choice and more flexibility.


Built for How You Actually Play

Over the past year, we’ve seen an exciting shift in how Gig Game is being used.

From casual game nights to high-energy QR-powered experiences at tradeshows, conferences, and live events, hosts are reaching bigger audiences than ever before. Players can now join instantly—just scan and play.

This evolution inspired us to rethink pricing so it better matches how you host events today.


What’s New

A Simpler Free Tier for Testing

We’re updating our Free plan to support up to 3 players.

This makes it perfect for:

  • Testing your game setup
  • Exploring features
  • Getting everything ready before going live

More Flexible Scaling with Audience Activations 🚀

Instead of requiring large monthly plans, we’re introducing Audience Activations.

This new option allows you to:

  • Add extra players to a single event when you need it
  • Scale seamlessly up to 10,000 participants
  • Run massive interactive experiences without long-term commitments

Whether you're hosting a booth at a tradeshow or running a large live session, you now have the freedom to scale on demand.


Streamlining Our Plans

As part of this shift:

  • The Event Host and Galla plans will no longer be offered to new users

This helps simplify our pricing while giving you more control over how and when you scale.


What’s Not Changing

For most of our current users—this doesn’t change a thing.

  • If you're on one of our existing plans, your experience remains exactly the same
  • Your pricing, features, and limits are unchanged

And if you're currently on an Event Host or Galla plan, you're fully grandfathered in at the same player limits you have today:

  • No pricing changes
  • No feature changes
  • No interruptions

Why This Matters

This update gives you more ways to use Gig Game:

  • Test easily with a lightweight free tier
  • Host regularly with a subscription that fits your needs
  • Scale instantly for large events with Audience Activations

No more paying for capacity you don’t always use. No more limits when your event suddenly grows.

Just the flexibility to run your games your way.


The Future of Interactive Events

With the rise of QR-based gameplay, it’s never been easier to turn any space into a live, interactive experience.

Scan. Join. Play.

This pricing update ensures that whether you're hosting 3 players or 3,000, Gig Game grows with you.


We’re excited to see what you create next.
