Over 200 game developers will be showing off their latest games one-on-one to a crowd of 800 people.

For everyone else, it’s a unique opportunity to try out the biggest collection of games made in and around NYC all in one place. Each game gets its own booth as players meet the developers and try out their games. Throw pizza into the mix and you get Playcrafting’s biggest event!

– Use Your Words
– Overcooked 2

And Many More!
We will be rotating each game, so everyone would have a chance to try out different Nindie titles!
To get to Waypoint Cafe, take the D Train to Grand St. From there, it’s a five minute walk to Ludlow St. After you reach Ludlow, make a left turn, and it’s a very short walk. You could also take the F Train to Delancey St. From there, it’s a three minute walk to Ludlow.
Please be mindful, and respect other patrons at Waypoint Cafe, as well as the management. We also urge anyone attending the event not to bring outside food to the venue.
We hope that you are able to join us, as we look forward to having you with us!

Video games are taking over the Microsoft office in Times Square for an all-out Expo celebrating local developers! Join us for a day of games, pizza and fun. All ages are welcome. We hope you can join us for our biggest seasonal gathering!
Over 100 game developers will be showing off their latest games one-on-one to a crowd of up to 1000 people. For developers, this is a great opportunity to show off their games (finished or unfinished) and get direct feedback from players. For everyone else, it’s a unique opportunity to try out the biggest collection of games made in and around NYC all in one place. More games being added daily.
For Attendees:
Thanks to our sponsor Microsoft (@MSFTReactor), this Expo will be free for all attendees!
You must register on Eventbrite. Please include your first and last name when you RSVP. Your name must be on the list to get past building security. If you’re registering multiple tickets, make sure you enter a name for each ticket when prompted to as all guests must RSVP on their own in order to get each name on the list at the door.

We are now accepting submissions for this event. Please fill out the online form and we’ll be in touch: http://bit.ly/ExpoDevelopers
What to Bring
– A government-issued photo ID.
What NOT to Bring
– Large fabric items (stuffed animals, couches, etc.)
– External speakers.
– Fake (or real) weaponry of any kind.
– Confetti/glitter/etc that makes a mess.
– Anything that can’t be carried in a regular elevator.
– Anything that can’t be easily transported through narrow corridors. There are some tight spots in the building.
– Smoke machines, strobe lights, disco balls.
– Anything dangerous or threatening (everyone has to go through Microsoft security).
– Anything that would be inappropriate for kids to interact with.
In the interest of fostering an inclusive and safe environment at all of our events, our Code of Conduct will be enforced.
We welcome you to Square Button Massacre The event will showcase the most classic form of FGC combat, King of The Hill. Choose out of any one (or all three) games we will be showcasing and dominate til someone knocks you off the sticks. The first place winner will have a glorious award as the second and third place winner will have something that would inspire them to do better.
The event will be at Waypoint Cafe! Located at 65 Ludlow Street. If you need to take public transportation you can take the B,D train to Grand street or the J,F,M train to Delancey/Essex Street INFORMATION ABOUT TRAIN DELAYS AND ANY OTHER CHANGES IN MTA SERVICE WILL BE POSTED ACCORDINGLY.
The games (and schedule) that will be showcased are….
Game One – Soul Caliber 6
11:00am Sign up / Friendlies
12pm Start
2pm End / Award Ceremony
Game Two – Dragonball FighterZ
2pm Sign Up /Friendlies
3pm Start
5pm End / Award Ceremony
Game Three – Super Smash Brothers Ultimate
5pm Sign Up / Friendlies
6pm Start
8pm End / Award Ceremony
RULES
1. SIGN UPS ARE FIRST COME FIRST SERVED
Sounds very simple enough right? Just because you signed up within the allotted hour time does not mean that you will get a chance to play in the event. We will be under a very tight time schedule and final matches will be at the time closest to the wrap of the game. The list will resume after the award ceremony but WILL NOT COUNT TOWARDS THE EVENT.
2. SMACK TALK NOT TRUMP TALK.
We actually encourage competitiveness and trash talking. It’s welcomed but don’t be dicks. No questions asked you will be dropped, and if you’re with a crew. They will be dropped too. It’s not hard to say you suck without sounding like a 12 year old playing Call of Duty with voice masking.
3. KING OF THE HILL – YOU LOSE, YOU’RE OUT.
For the event you play until you lose. If you lose you cant play unless everyone else on the list loses and then by default it resets accordingly to the number you signed up as. As mentioned before the top 3 winners from each game will receive an award.
This goes without saying but BRINGING YOUR OWN STICKS IS HIGHLY RECOMMEND! This is like the golden rule at FGC events but in case you don’t Waypoint Cafe NYC does have a very limited supply and we do mean limited. So if you don’t bring your own sticks we do not want to hear any crying about how you didn’t win cause of the controller you didn’t bring cause of “insert excuse here”.
The event will be streamed on The Waypoint Cafe Twitch channel.
More details about the event would be posted in the future!
