Thanks so much to everyone who came out to the festival and played their hearts out. As always the festival was a real blast, with 40 different games running in and around Brooklyn.
Thanks to all of the designers who ran games. The festival would be an empty shell without the amazing games you all think up and bring to life over the weekend each year.
And a super huge thanks to all of the volunteers. You guys have our undying graditude. Without you all the festival just wouldn't happen.

About the festival
Each year the Come Out & Play settles in a different neighborhood and explores the limits of play and games in that space. We've played among the galleries of Chelsea, played amidst the thriving nightlife of the Lower East Side and navigated the throngs of tourists in Times Square. This year the festival lands in Brooklyn to explore a new set of challenges. We will explore the potential for play in a converted 100-year old bathhouse. We will find ways to engage a residential neighborhood like Park Slope with games. We will discover the playful uses of a post-industrial swath of warehouses and canals like Gowanus. And we'll make games from the rich texture of a historic public cemetery like Green-Wood.
