Press Pause 2024


We’re hosting our annual fundraiser, Press Pause, on October 25th – November 3rd 2024 to raise awareness around mental health in the games industry and beyond.

Firstly, we’d like to thank our wonderful Partner for this event, MPG, for their support!

This year, we’re hosting a brand new D&D campaign for our fundraisers to take part in! Interested? Keep reading…

You are a team of ghost hunters hired by the terrified manager of the Press Pause Arcade to banish a malevolent spirit that has driven away all of their customers. Explore the abandoned arcade, search for clues, and uncover the story of the Gatekeeper in this 4th-level D&D adventure inspired by retro games and kitschy horror.

Even if you’re not a D&D fanatic, everyone is welcome to join us in this Press Pause Fundraiser! We’d love to have your support in any way you feel comfortable.

We have some amazing fundraisers already looking at miniature painting sessions, horror streams and more!
