Block #3

ExCITe Center Market Space
3401 Market Street, Suite 100
Philadelphia, PA 19104

Calling all storytellers, musicians, gamers, artists, crafters, designers, imagineers, community leaders, and entrepreneurs!
 
Over the next few years, video game designers and theater artists will be building an interactive game that can be played on your phone and in person based on a story about extraterrestrials coming to Philadelphia.
 
In this part-workshop/part-community meeting, we will brainstorm in small groups about artwork, games, music, social media campaigns, and stories that might be told in a West Philadelphia Command Center.
 
Command Centers will be created in several communities in Philadelphia and will be spaces for players to gather, strategize, and play this exciting new game.
 
Workshop is free to all who attend. Breakfast will be served.
 
RSVP Required
