Pit People PVP Challenge @ RTX 2017

If you’re headed to RTX this weekend, come by our booth (#401) to compete with your fellow Pit People players! We’ll be doing our first ever Pit People PVP Challenge at RTX and anyone can join in for a chance to win rad prizes.

The Rules:

  • A competitor can play up to three 1v1 rounds for all or nothing!
  • If a player wins the 1st round, they can keep their Round 1 prize or go “double or nothing” by going into Round 2.
  • If they win the 2nd battle as well, they can keep Round 1 & 2 prizes OR go into a Final Round for a Cash Prize + prizes from previous rounds!
  • But if they lose in either Round 2 or 3, the player will walk away with 0 prizes.

 
TL;DR – Win a round, keep going for even more prizes. Lose a round, lose it all!

So how far will you push yourself in the Pit?

PP PVP Challenge Schedule:

Friday, July 7th – 2:00PM – 5:00PM
Saturday, July 8th – 1:00PM – 4:00PM
Sunday, July 9th – 1:00PM – 4:00PM

To enter, just let one of our Behemoth team members know that you’re there to compete for that day and then you’ll be able to fight in the Pit in a rigorous 1v1 battle!

The Prizes*

  • 1st round prize – 2 Castle Crashers Mini Figurines
  • 2nd round prize – Pit People Plush (1) + Pit People Shirt (1) + 1st round prize
  • Final round prize – CASH prize ($50) + previous round prizes

 
*provided given items are in stock (if we run out, we’ll mail the prizes to the winners!)

Additional Rules

  • If a player loses after the first round, they no longer qualify for prizes on subsequent attempts that same day, but can keep playing for fun.
  • Competition is only valid if two human players are available. i.e. no vs ai for prizes.
  • If a player wins all three rounds and claims cash prize, they are done for that day and can’t compete for prizes anymore (but they can still play for fun!)

 
Oh, and did we mention that these daily competitions will be held on our newly custom built arcade cabinets!?

We’ll see you at RTX Booth 401 starting this Friday, July 7th!

Our custom-built arcade cabinets are returning with us. Come play Pit People, BattleBlock Theater, and Back Off Barbarian! We’ll also have brand new 2-player Pit People arcade cabinets to play!! These arcade cabinets are built by our hands for your hands!!!

All the demos at RTX are free to play as always. <3

Store

We’ll have official merchandise at our Gift Shop, including blind-boxed capsules in our Chonku Chonku machine! For $5, you’ll be able to get a token to place into the machine and it will pop out a capsule with either a keychain or one of the Castle Crashers mini-figurines!

PAX East 2017 – Day 3 Recap

Xsplit Road Show – Chris & Ian talk Pit People (Click to see more photos from PAX East 2017 Day 3)

 
We kicked off the last day of PAX East 2017 with a stage demo of Pit People on the Xsplit Road Show. Chris Slight, from Xsplit, was a fan of Pit People and invited us to show it off during their live stream from PAX East. If you missed the live stream, you can still see the 30 minute segment for a limited time in this archived broadcast.

Hardcore Pinny Arcade Trading

 
Back at the Behemoth booth, people were trading for the Pinny Arcade pins that they wanted. Since it was the last day, you can imagine how motivated attendees were to get their collection complete!

In the afternoon, we had our last PAX East 2017 Pit People Tournament of Attendees. The event was emceed by Mason from our QA subdivision, The Research Centaur.

Here’s the final match in progress
