PAX Prime 2014 Wrap Up

We came, we saw, we survived PAX Prime 2014!  What an amazing whirlwind weekend.  We demo'd the game to hundreds (maybe thousands?) of people, and founder Jenna Hoffstein participated in The PAX 10 Panel: Part 1.  It was an incredible honor to be a part of the PAX 10, and a blast to showcase the game!  We had gamers of all ages stop by; a special huge thank you to everyone who played the game or swung by to say hi!  Everyone cast spells, used potions, and defended the towers like a true wizard.

We've had some great press mentions recently (some from PAX, some just coinciding with the start of the school year), here are the highlights:

Review: The Counting Kingdom is charming, educational, and not just for kids by Bryan Edge-Salois, The Examiner

"Little Worlds Interactive’s The Counting Kingdom is a relatively rare breed of learning game: It’s so successful at being a good game that your kids may not even realize they’re learning while playing it. It's a game that is educational -- not just an educational game."

The Counting Kingdom Review by Kate Reynolds, Game Skinny

"If you're looking for a math game for your elementary-aged child, or if you just like number-puzzles, Counting Kingdom is the charming (yet educational) game for you... I would much rather play The Counting Kingdom than any other game on my iPhone, and I'd still choose it over half the games in my Steam library."

The Counting Kingdom at PAX Prime

We're just a few days away from PAX Prime 2014!  Nearly 10 years after the event was founded as a celebration of gaming culture, the event has grown to host over 70,000 gamers every year. As a proud member of the PAX 10 our bags are packed and we're flying out tomorrow to exhibit The Counting Kingdom.

Stop by our table to play the game and speak with developer Jenna Hoffstein.  We'll also have a special deal for Steam keys of The Counting Kingdom - pay what you want!  Help support the team by swinging by to say hi and pick up a copy, and as a special bonus you'll get a hand-painted monster block.  We have a limited number of these available, so make sure you pick yours up early.

We'll be on the 6th floor of the Expo hall at booth 6203.  See you there!

We've been anxiously waiting to share this news with you, and today we are so proud to announce that The Counting Kingdom was selected to be a part of this year's PAX 10 Indie Games Showcase!  

The games featured in the showcase are chosen by a panel of 50 industry experts, and represent some of the most innovative and fun independent titles of the year.  It's a huge honor to be selected, and we'll see you out in Seattle next month for four days of monsters, magic and fun!
