Well hello there, friends! It’s been such a wild year so far and I’m not sure how we made it to August, but we’re here! The weather is nice! People are out and about! It’s definitely a sight to be seen! We at Hand Eye Society are working hard to make sure the next events go smoothly, so you know what that means…! It’s WordPlay season! Stay tuned for more information on ways you can volunteer, submit your games, talks and more!
We can’t wait to see your (digital) faces!
We would love to welcome everyone to our official Hand Eye Society Discord channel! Join us! Hang out! Chat!
Note: Events may be cancelled, or change form, like a transformer, or like a popsicle in the sun.
Don’t forget, there’s Google Calendar, in which you can check out all of the events here in one handy, downloadable place!
You can also submit news about Toronto/GTA games and events to calendar@handeyesociety.com at any time before the month in which the event takes place (preferably with a week to spare), post to our Facebook Group (as long as it’s relevant to local games/playful media and doesn’t violate our Code of Conduct), or @ us on Twitter for a RT.
