Less than two weeks away from the Game Developer Carousel on Thursday March 12th and we’re going to introduce something new this year: A music playlist!

We’re able to customize the music playing at the carousel and I’m open to your suggestions. Use this Google form to make suggestions:

Game Developer Carousel Playlist 2026

The Game Developer Carousel will have a playlist this year! 🎮 🧑‍💻 🎠 Use this form to make suggestions on what songs should be included. Deadline is March 7th, 2026 so I can prepare the USB drive for review. Please be sure to follow these guidelines: Keep it "E" for Everyone. This is an all ages event in a public space. Songs will not be synced to carousel operation. The final playlist will be unattended and play regardless if the carousel is actively dispatched. Focus on ambiance, not heavy lyr...

• Keep it "E" for Everyone.
  This is an all ages event in a public space.

• Songs will not be synced to carousel operation.
  The final playlist will be unattended and play on loop regardless if the carousel is actively dispatched.

• Focus on ambiance, not heavy lyric music.
  It's OK if the song has lyrics! But lyric heavy music won't play well in the space. And remember that "E for Everyone" rule!

• Doesn't need to be explicitly "carousel or circus" themed.
  Would this be a good song to play while the carousel runs? Obviously that's open to interpretation.

• Suggest as many as you can think of!
  You can keep submitting the form more than once.
  If you really want to bulk add: Send me a URL of your spreadsheet or playlist via email at seg@gdcarousel.com

The deadline for suggestions is March 7th to allow me time to make the USB drive and get the playlist approved.
