The Finnish Society for Game Research is a registered association focused on promoting multidisciplinary game research in Finland. The society was founded in Jyväskylä in May 2016. We have been a member of the Federation of Finnish Learned Societies (TSV) and the national DiGRA (Digital Games Research Association) chapter and representative since 2022​.

Our purpose and mission are to promote game research and research-based education; act as a multidisciplinary representative and support network for game researchers in Finland; offer research-based expertise in public discussions concerning games and play; and maintain connections to international game research networks.

Our activities include organising public events (e.g. The Finnish Game Studies Day every spring), organising the annual Game Studies Thesis Competition together with Neogames Finland, publishing The Finnish Yearbook of Game Studies, creating and collecting resources on the pelitutkimus.fi website, and actively communicating about current news and events related to game research. We also promote the interests of game researchers within Finnish academia.

We welcome all game researchers in Finland to participate and develop the society and its activities!
