Doha Film Festival (DFF) 2026 is transforming the city of Doha into a vast game board with the launch of its interactive mobile game, DFF Side Quest. The game, set to run from November 9 to 19, encourages residents and visitors to explore the city and uncover missing digital posters from this year's Festival program.
Participants will track down the posters by visiting 10 participating venues and community spaces scattered across Doha. Along the way, they'll encounter film-inspired clues, puzzles, and challenges, earning points and unlocking rewards as they progress.
Commenting on the initiative, Abdulla Al Mosallam, Deputy Chief Executive Officer of Doha Film Institute and Deputy Director of DFF, emphasized the festival's mission to bring people together and spark curiosity. "With DFF Side Quest, we are taking that spirit beyond the cinema and into the heart of our city, inviting the community to become active participants in the festival experience," he stated.
The game invites players to discover cinema in unexpected places, from The Terminal at Old Doha Port to Store 974 at Place Vendôme. By turning discovery into an adventure, DFF Side Quest aims to inspire people to explore new stories, engage with diverse perspectives, and experience the creative energy of Doha in a unique way.
