Skrolli Party 2025
Held this year for the sixth time, Skrolli Party doesn't have a place to call home. Rather the idea has been to take the party to different places, sometimes closer to the capital region and sometimes further away. Last year we were at Aulanko in Hämeenlinna, this year a suitable venue was found halfway towards Helsinki, in Riihimäki!
The grand ballroom and lounge of Punainen Talo in Riihimäki provide a splendid environment for stage programme, compos and casual gaming alike. The venue is only a few minutes walk away from the railway station and there's ample parking space for those who prefer to use their own car. Getting there couldn't be easier!
Everyone is welcome to Skrolli Party. Spots are filled in order of registration. The first 20 are reserved for the makers of the magazine. Entrance is free of charge, but there's a fee for a computer place if you want one. The main event day is Saturday 13 September, but those with computer places can bring their stuff on Friday afternoon while the event is being set up.
You can once again follow the party remotely via a stream. Details will be added here closer to the party.
The invitation intro to the party will be released at Assembly Summer 2025.

Party place
Punainen Talo in Riihimäki is a wooden building right in the middle of the city, which has been renovated for cultural events. It's used for workshops, performances, exhibitions and other events. Besides a stage and a ballroom the venue has smaller lounge rooms, a kitchen and toilets.
More pictures and travel information can be found on a separate page.
Compos
There will be three compos at the party: realtime, wild and a fast compo which will be announced later.
The realtime competition is about making an executable program which produces moving image and audio in real time. The platform can be old or new, as long as it can execute a program.
Entries in the wild compo can be anything that can be presented with a screen and/or loudspeakers. It can be a picture, prerendered animation, a piece or music or a video of a live performance. Bring something from outside the box and surprise us!
Entries participating in the fast compo must be produced in a short time window during the party. Details will be announced later.
The best three entries of each category will get a trophy.
Rules are on a separate page.
