Are you sick of your parents’ boring old Bit Bashes? Leave their dull dusty indie game fests in the past, because Bit Bash is going XTREME!
We’ve got a whole new night of radical games that’ll blow the brains off of those old-fashioned fuddy-duddies. Downhill race in a wheelchair, engage in bodacious bloodsport, or grind a gnarly rail.
Plus, throw down with mind-melting tunes in the ultimate musical tag-team tournament, the BitxBash DJ Championship.
Can YOU handle this Bit Bash??
