You might not be able to exist inside of a Klein bottle. You also might not be able to exist outside of a Klein bottle. But you might be able to get *closer* to a Klein bottle at metagame.games/go/twitter

As the social media intern around here, I'm good at making jokes and less good at building puzzles That's where (maybe you??) come in! Made a puzzle? Let me put it on our twitter and maybe other places! Don't have a puzzle but like solving them? metagame.games/go/twitter

Metagame seems an underrated thing to sponsor as a tech company. Many clever problem solvers in attendance.

if you too enjoy rotating words, boy do we have a conference for you to attend!
Someone asked me recently if "word rotator" is a thing, and I said of course. Where the wordcel writes long essays with flowery language, the word rotator makes puns, rhymes, anagrams; playing with the structure of words, not just the meaning

Really happy to share that Rattle Spring has been selected for a playtest session at #Metagame 2026! 🎉 Can't wait to see how players react to the world and solve the puzzles. 🌀 Thank you, @Metagame, for this opportunity! #indiegame #puzzlegame #indiedev

some things people are saying about metagame include "I really like the whole spectrum of types of games there, and I hope to see my friends there again" (simon, age 8.5) and "it's an event at Lighthaven that's not about AI safety" (anonymous, age 26)

fact check: partially true. simon is excited to see his friends again, but sessions will include AI tabletop roleplaying games, alignment themed social deduction games, talks on the role of AI in game design, and other stuff that comes dangerously close to being about AI safety

What actually happens at Metagame? Metagame is for the people who design, run, study, and obsess over games of all kinds. Here are just a few of the things already confirmed for Metagame 2026 (thread):
