PAX West 2023: Competition and Giveaway Info

by

It’s a bird, it’s a plane, wait – it’s a bird (chicken) on a plane, headed to PAX West in Seattle! That’s right, our crew will be at the show from September 1st-4th at Booth #2317 with some arcade cabs, competitions of epic proportions, exclusive merch, and an infinite amount of bawks!

“What games are you bringing, chicken overlord?“

This time around, we’ll have arcade cabinets for Alien Hominid Invasion, Alien Hominid HD, Castle Crashers Remastered, and Back Off Barbarian. Come by, try out a few of our older titles, and check out the first-ever 2-player Invasion cabinet!

Castle Crashers Giveaway

We recently announced the upcoming Castle Crashers Nintendo Switch physical edition, and we want to keep the excitement going with a giveaway!

On Friday, Saturday, and Sunday of the show, we’ll be giving away the PAX-exclusive Castle Crashers donut box (pictured above), in addition to a set of Joy-Cons with two of the original knights’ colors!

To enter, all you have to do is stop by the booth and fill out a raffle ticket from 10am-4pm on any day except Monday. Winners will be drawn at 4pm each day and contacted to pick up their prize before 5:30pm. Attendees can enter once per person, per day. Contest entries reset each day, so be sure to come back the next day to re-enter if your name isn’t drawn!

If you can’t make it to the show, stay tuned for a chance to win on Twitter!

Alien Hominid Invasion SPEEDRUN Extravaganza

From 4-5pm each day, we’ll be hosting a speedrun competition of the Alien Hominid Invasion demo, complete with totally-legit commentary from our community managers.

The speediest invader each day will win a grand prize goodie bag with a signed YouTooz figurine, Invasion-themed apparel, and more alien goodies! Two runner-ups daily will also win a smaller goodie bag with a bandana and keychain, so there’s even more incentive to join in on the speedy invasion fun.

Back Off Barbarian High Score ALL DAY CHALLENGE

Want to win some Castle Crashers merch by battling some barbarians? We have the contest for you! Our Back Off Barbarian challenge will take place all day, every day during show hours (10am-5pm).

To enter, get the high score on our Back Off Barbarian machine, enter your initials, take a pic of your score, and post it on Twitter with the hashtag #BehemothBOB23. At the end of the entry period at 5pm, the high score wins our grand prize – if that’s YOU, make sure you come back to the booth by show floor closing to claim your prize!

The leaderboards will reset each day with one competitor being crowned champion! The daily grand prize includes a signed Barbarian figurine, BRAND NEW Castle Crashers socks, and more goodies wrapped up in a Troll Baggu. Two runner-ups will also receive those newly-designed socks, simply because we love socks.

NOTE: To keep things on an equal playing field (and spread the love of comfy socks), attendees can only win each contest once.

That’s all we’ve got for now! As always, we’ll be posting updates on Twitter and Instagram leading up to and throughout the show weekend, possibly including a surprise or two… Who knows what the big chicken has in store?

My Behemoth Valentine 2021 Contest Winners!

by

Valentine’s Day has come and gone, but we still love all the love you gave us this year. The Valentine’s Day Fan Art contest sent tons of Valentine-y drawings and doodles our way, and we’ve selected a couple of very special ones that completely stole our hearts!

You’re all winners in our hearts, but we had to narrow things down and pick the winners that really made our hearts sing from each! This year, we picked three winners from each of our two categories: Sweetest Art and Loveliest Art.

Here are the winners for our 2021 Valentine’s Day Contest!

As an honorable mention, we also would like to share this feature film that was created. There was absolutely incredible work and effort that went into this video by Fuzzie, and you can watch it on Twitter here.

You all really tugged on our heart strings — thank you to each and every person that entered fan art into the contest. Thank you, and I love you.

If you want to see all of the entries this year, you can check out the hashtag “#MyBehemothValentine” on your favorite social media sites!

PS (I love you?) – If you’re one of the winners, keep your eyes peeled for a message from the Behemoth Chicken on the social media account you used to enter! We’ll be in touch soon.

It’s a Lovely Day… for The Behemoth’s Valentine’s Day Fan Art Contest!

by

Love is in the air… actually, we don’t know what that looks, smells, or tastes like, but what we do know is that what’s actually coming up is Valentine’s Day! Seriously, our calendars told us.

We’re going to make sure that this Valentine’s Day is as lovely as it can be with our 2021 Valentine’s Day Fan Art Contest!

There are two contest categories that you can enter your fan art in: Sweetest and Loveliest. We know these are broad strokes, but we always love to see what our friends and fans come up with when we give you a word to play off of, so do what you feel and make our hearts soar!

We’ll pick a couple of winners from both categories, and those that strike us smitten will find themselves the beholder of some fabulous prizes!

The winner with the Sweetest drawing will be granted a Cupcake Plush, while the winner of the Loveliest category will earn Blacksmith Socks and a Purple Alien Hominid Invasion Bandana!

To enter, make some art, and then post it (or a picture of it) publicly to Twitter, Instagram, or Facebook with the hashtag #MyBehemothValentine before Tuesday, February 16, 2021 at 11:59 PM PT. Oh, and be sure to mention what category your art is for: Sweetest or Loveliest!

Yes, you get a couple of extra days past February 14th to enter just in case your Valentine’s Day plans particularly inspire you. We’ll take the next week to vote on our winners, then announce them in a spectacular fashion with prizes and all!
