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!

Welcome to Peanut Butter Game Jam where a handful of game developers will compete for the ultimate prize, a Jar of Grade A Peanut Butter.
Each programmer will have 5-10 minutes to present their own custom video game they created over the last month or two. They will prove to a captivated live audience their respective game is best.
There will be an Audience Vote at the end to determine the The Peanut Butter Champ!
The theme of our first show? Peanut Butter. Programmers will have to make a game that somehow incorporates this theme.
Come ready to jam!

Seattle? Montreal? Why is E3 held in Los Angeles? Those places hardly compare to New York City, the mecca of innovative creators, risk takers, and go getters.
