Homeseek Is Coming to PAX East!
Join our Expedition Party in Boston!
Greetings survivors,
Our expedition party is on the move in our important search for a sustainable future. Our next destination? Boston. That’s right, Homeseek is coming to PAX East!
We’ll be showcasing exciting new gameplay—including multiple campaign levels and game modes—that you can see first and in person at the convention! Not only that, but two of the Homeseek developers, Mike Papagathangelou and Kate Mataraga, will be at the booth ready to see how you guide your colony to survival and glad to answer all your questions from water extractors to Warka towers.
Of course, no expedition is complete without something to bring back to the colony, so there will be merch and collectibles available for the intrepid explorers who stop by. Here’s just a little taste of what sweet resources you can gather:
In support of World Water Day and water sustainability efforts across the globe, 20% of profits earned from Homeseek merch purchased during PAX will be donated to [Charity: Water](https://www.charitywater.org/) to assist in providing safe, clean water to those in need around the world!
For an opportunity to play the exclusive PAX build and speak to two of the Homeseek devs in person, find us at the Boston Convention and Exhibition Center from March 23rd-26th at booth 16079. Have your party members keep an eye out for the big yellow sign for The Iterative Collective and direct your expedition there. We look forward to seeing you soon!
