EGX London 2019 Recap

by

We had a great time at EGX London this past weekend!

The very first morning of the show, we found these in the queue line. It seems likely that some developer dropped these, and lost the keys to their stuff. Rule #57382829 of trade shows: Split up the keys, because if you lose them…

This show was new to us, and we found that it was a weird mix of many shows… much like RTX, you could get tattoos, 3 lbs of fudge, and mystery boxes. Like Tokyo Game Show, San Diego Comic-Con, and PAX East, the main event took place a long linear hall that made for good exercise. Like PAX West, you had some evening programming and board games options, but things would mostly wind down after-hours.

The show venue was about 2x that of Comic-Con, so just imagine two long sausage shaped halls next to each other connected by a food mall. They also set up a county fair type area in the adjacent hall with rides and bouncy houses, so there were a lot of kids having a lot of fun.

We had a great time bringing our games to EGX London, and you can see our photos from the event here. It will be interesting to see how next week goes at MCM Comic-Con London… it should be a smaller show, but we’re just as excited for it!

Live from London Steam Sale 2019

by

If you saw last week’s post about our upcoming European tradeshow tour, then you know that we’re in England for EGX London today! As a part of the show happenings, we’re also taking part in Steam’s special Live from London sale that also kicks off today. This means that friends (that’s you) will be able to get discounts on our games whether they’re at the show or not!

From October 17th (today) through October 20th,  all Behemoth games on Steam will be on sale during the entirety of Valve’s Live from London Steam Sale! This one is quick and will only last through the weekend, so you’re going to want to act fast if you want to take advantage of all the sweet deals.

It’s a great time to get Castle Crashers or BattleBlock Theater (or both of them) for yourself or a friend, because the two games will be on sale for a whopping 80% off! That’s no small savings on hours of fun. Beyond the classics you know and love, Pit People will also be available for 40% off! If you haven’t played our newest game, you’ll want to pick up the turn-based adventure.

It’s the perfect time to round out your Behemoth games collection, on Steam… just make sure you do so before the sale ends on October 20th.

The Behemoth’s 2019 Halloween Contest!

by

There’s a chill in the air, and things are starting to feel just a little bit spooky. That could only mean one of two things: either someone left the door open, or it’s almost Halloween!

We just checked and the door is definitely shut, so we’re going with Halloween… which means it’s time for our very own Halloween contest! This year we’re looking for Behemoth-inspired Halloween decorations to fill us with fright and delight.

To enter, just post a photo of your Behemoth Halloween decor to Twitter, Instagram, or Facebook using the hashtag #BehemothHalloween before November 3rd, 2019 at 11:59 PM PT. We will review the entries and select three winners during the first week of November, with one winner for each category: (1) Best in Show, (2) Most Creative, and (3) Spooky Scariest. As the category names suggest, we will be judging based on creativity, originality, and the ability to make us feel things, scary or otherwise. The winner of each category will receive TWO Pit People figurines!

Check out all the official rules and deets here:

  • •No purchase necessary.
  • •Must be 18 or older to enter (if in the US), or have parental consent.
  • •Group entries are allowed! (Only one prize pack per winning individual or group).
  • •Your entry must be your own creation (or your group’s, parent’s, family’s).
  • •Only new decoration entries will be accepted (entries that were submitted in previous years will not be eligible).
  • •Decorations can include pumpkin carvings, special treats, or other decorations in or outside of your home… but they don’t have to! Mix it up, and be creative!
  • •You may enter more than one unique entry.
  • •International participants are welcome!

If you need a little inspiration to kick start your art, you can take a gander at the winners from our last Halloween contest here!

Update: Thanks for participating, everyone! We need some time to review all the entries; the winners will be chosen by The Behemoth this week and will be announced here on our blog and on social media between November 5th and November 8th.
