PAX West 2017 – Day 3 & 4 Recap

by

The last two days of the Expo flew by so quickly since the booth was packed on both days!

We continued to have a line at our Gift Shop and for the Pit People PVP Challenge. We held the PVP Challenge on Day 3 and added it to Day 4 since it was so popular!

Several players made it past Round 3 and a couple came back on Monday, Day 4, to battle other Round 3 winners! Here are some of the winners from Day 3 and Day 4:

There were 4 players who returned to battle Best of 3 fights to get the grand cash prize! Coincidentally, both grand prize matches were friend versus friend.

The fight against Brandon and George was especially fun to watch since those two usually co-op and they know each other’s strategies!

Winner: Danny (pictured on left)
Runner-up: Sam (pictured on right)

 
Draw! We ran out of time since doors closed and they had both won a fight. So they both won and split the cash prize!

We had such a blast this year! On Day 4, some of our team members (Ian, John and myself) picked up the microphones to do the Round 3 and Grand Prize match commentary.

Since we’re not professionals, you can imagine the randomness that came up in conversation. We talked about fart blasts, Ian’s distaste of Gorgon snakes, and John kept heckling Chris Hecker at the Spy Party booth!

Thank you again to everyone who came by our booth this year at PAX West 2017! We always love seeing your faces and seeing people play our games. See you again next year!

PAX West 2017 – Pit People PVP Challenge

by

Are you ready for a fight in the Pit? Well, get your PVP practice on now because you’re going to need to sharpen those skills before PAX West if you want to join our Pit People PVP Challenge!

We’re going to have 1v1 matches Friday, Saturday, and Sunday of PAX West at booth 1501 on our custom-built arcade cabinets! Matches will start at 1PM Friday thru Sunday and they’ll continue on until late afternoon.

Every player gets a prize! (Like Pinny Arcade Pins, Patches, Scarves, Beard Trimmings, Plushes, and More!) There’s also a grand prize to aim for: an all-new Pit People Figurine and CASH!
 

Rules:

TL;DR – Winner Stays, Loser Pays Gets a Prize and a Handshake!

  • Winning two preliminary matches gets you a shot on our Spotlight Cabinet.
  • After each preliminary match, the winner will stick around for their next challenge, and the loser will receive a prize based on how many times they won.
  • Winning on the Spotlight Cabinet (a.k.a. The third consecutive fight) earns you the grand prize!

 
Other Rules:

  • You can compete for prizes once per day.
  • If you win the grand prize, you’re done winning prizes (congrats!)
  • You have to play against a human being to progress. No AI Matches!
  • Staff decisions are final.

 
If you’re interested in getting more details on the tournament or if you want to participate, ask one of our staff at the booth about the Pit People PVP Tournament!
