PAX Games on Demand Menu Sample

PAX Prime is August 28th – Sept 1st in Seattle, WA. Games on Demand will take place on the third floor of the convention center again this year and we’ll be co-located with Gamma Ray Games to minimize play-to-purchase time. Complimentary guest badges will be available to volunteers, giving you access to the show for all four days. Volunteering involves facilitating games you love for enthusiastic strangers, for three four-hour slots over the course of the show.

If you’re interested in joining us, just send us a message and let us know!
