Join us as a volunteer

Want to be part of the magic behind one of Sweden’s largest and most inclusive gaming events?
As a volunteer at Malmö Game Week, you’ll become part of a passionate, playful, and nerdy community working together to create a weekend full of games, creativity, and connection.

You’ll meet new friends, collaborate closely with organizers, exhibitors, and visitors and help make a real difference.
Malmö Game Week is a nonprofit event hosted in collaboration with the City of Malmö, making gaming culture accessible to everyone, no matter their background or budget.

Whether you're into cosplay, card games, board games, digital adventures or simply love helping out - we need you!

Q&A

A volunteer is a superhero in everyday clothes.
You help out before and/or during the event on a nonprofit basis — and the tasks vary a lot! Whether you’re excited to welcome guests, sell snacks, or guide people around, there’s a role for you at MGW.
Once the form opens, you’ll be able to apply right here on the site.
After submitting your application, our volunteer coordinator will reach out to you by email with more information.

🎫 Entrance Team
Be the first friendly face our guests meet! You’ll welcome visitors, check tickets, and help people find their way.

Keep things tidy and take care of coats, bags, and precious finds — ideal for anyone who loves structure (and a bit of chit-chat).
📸 Photo & Content
Love creating? Help us capture the magic of MGW! You’ll photograph cosplay, competitions, and unforgettable moments.
🎭 Department Support
Be an extra pair of hands where they’re needed most — maybe in the board game area, backstage with the cosplay team, or helping the stage program run smoothly.
✨ Flex Team (General Support)
Perfect for those who like variety! You might count visitors, guide guests, or solve little challenges as they pop up.

Some tasks (like handling payments) require you to be 18+.
Regardless of age, we expect you to:
- Be on time

Malmö Game Week is organized by Spelens Hus in collaboration with the City of Malmö.
The project team oversees the event, while the volunteer coordinator is your main contact. Each area also has a designated lead on-site to support you.
Start by contacting the volunteer coordinator — they’re here to help with your schedule, support needs, or if something doesn’t feel right.
If that doesn’t work, or if you prefer, you’re always welcome to speak with someone from the project team or Spelens Hus directly.
Security staff will also be on-site to handle any visitors causing distress or unsafe situations.
