- Field Trip to Level99Level99, Natick , MA
Boston Games Club is hosting a field trip to Level99 Natick! If you aren't familiar, Level99 is a social gaming playground with more than 50 real-world physical and mental challenges and games. Each time you win a game you level up. There's a tasty restaurant and bar (Night Shift) in the back. It's a blast!
Feel free to show up and play games on your schedule but you'll want a group to play with - many games are best with multiple people! For folks that want a more coordinated approach, let's buy tickets for 7:00pm and plan to meet up at 6:45pm in front of Level99 to coordinate groups of players. Discussion will be free-form and self-organizing and take place in the restaurant area.
What to expect:
- Play games at your own pace
- Grab food and drink with other game devs
- Talk about the games you played and how we can learn from them for our own game dev process!
Tickets are $30 and can be purchased here. I recommend purchasing them in advance so you don't have to wait in line to get in. Food and drink menu here.
Boston Games Club can be found on the Boston GameDev Slack in the #games-club channel. We play one game every two months and then discuss it from the lens of a game developer.
