Digital Capital Week

About:
DCGam.es is pleased to announce the launch of its first indoor/outdoor big games play program.

Based on the concept of the popular New York based “Come Out and Play” program, DCGam.es is about immersing players in a game experience that moves people beyond the digital screen, to getting out and experiencing game play in and around DC. From completely analogue to fully digital and anywhere in between, this day of play is about getting people to interact with one another, their environment and the story you tell.

About the organizer:
It all started this summer in New York City, when Nathan Maton, Dan Henry and Limor Schafman attended the Come Out and Play and Games for Change conferences. They realized that DC needed this kind of dynamic event combining fun, gameplay and exploring the city. Now here we are, looking for great games to bring this vision to life!
