Gang,
We’re super excited to announce the details for Come Out & Play 2013. We’re working with the LMCC again this year and will return to Lower Manhattan. Over the last two years we’ve honed in on a great format which has allowed us to really focus on showcasing all of your awesome work.
Details
The format for this year will be similar. A mixture of installation games and street games in and around South Street Seaport. We got massive walk up traffic last year which was amazing. Sandy really decimated the area and it’s still recovering, so this is our chance as game designers to bring a little attention and fun back to the area.
Check out Lia Bulaong’s amazing photos from last year’s After Dark for inspiration: http://www.
Now in it’s third year, the Field Day has proven an excellent venue for field games, sports and social games. You’ll have the opportunity to showcase your game all day to huge amounts of eager players.

Last year ESI Design helped us introduce the Family Day and it was a massive success. We had incredible turnout of kids and adults playing together. It was very inspiring. ESI will be reprising the Family Day again this year. Think of a great game and an era in which it might take place.

Submissions are open from now until May 1:
As always, we’re looking for exciting and innovative new real-world, physical and social games.
