The first WindGames event took place in 2014 at Windoor's indoor skydiving facility in Empuriabrava, Spain, where every event has been held since. The WindGames includes Vertical Formation Skydiving, 4-way Formation Skydiving, 2-way Dynamic, 4-way Dynamic, Solo Speed, Freestyle and Freestyle Junior.
In January 2016, The WindGames became the first major international competition to mandate a routine performed to music in their first Freestyle event. This integration of music is credited with transforming the discipline; within 36 hours, the performances from the event went viral, bringing the sport to a mainstream audience for the first time. The format's impact continued in subsequent years, as a new generation of flyers achieved similar viral success and maintained the sport's visibility in the public eye.
After an extended pause in events due to the COVID-19 pandemic, The WindGames resumed in 2024.
