Mittens is the annual real-life meeting for adventure game creators mostly from the AGS community. The first Mittens was held in 2002, and it took place in Laleham, England, and was organised by m0ds. There has been a Mittens gathering every year since then, in various places in Europe and once in the United States. The next Mittens will be held in Benidorm, Spain, in 2006.

The original Mittens campsite has now been revisted as Brittens in 2004 and 2005. Other local AGS community meet-ups have also been arranged or suggested, often with names related to Mittens, such as Lapaset.

The name "Mittens" comes from a suggestion by Captain Mostly. The idea formed during the production of "The Vestibule", the team (which included Abstauber, Yahtzee, Captain Mostly & m0ds) decided it could be fun to bundle around to Yahtzee's and have a BBQ. This never happened - but the idea was taken further and with it, m0ds launched "Mittens". Mittens are actually fingerless winter gloves. It is also a common name for a cat. It has no association or related meaning with the annual AGS meeting, but the name was made up because it was funny.
