​

Since 2014, the Community Game-Along event has hosted and promoted by Chic Pixel's Anne Lee as a way to clear out your backlog of games, to promote under-appreciated genres/creators, to amplify gamers of all backgrounds, or a combination of the above.

​

To participate in the monthly Game-Along, just pick at least one game that fits the theme to play during the month. After that, the rest is up to you. Stream it, record it, write about it, or simply talk about it. Use the currently active hashtag, and the game you play, as well as your way of promoting that game will be showcased here.​ All in all, the Community Game-Along is about having fun, and bringing different gaming communities together!

​

You can also join the Community Game-Along on the Chic Pixel Discord, the event's official home. All you have to do is fill out this form, and our founder Anne will send you official invite if you are trustworthy enough -.^

About
 

WHAT IS THE COMMUNITY GAME-ALONG? THE GAMES First and foremost, the Community Game-Along celebrates gaming, and expressing our interest and passion for those games. NEW MONTH, NEW THEME Every month will call for the games played to fit a specific genre of gaming, or a certain aesthetic within the game. BACKLOG CLEARING By focusing on one theme or one genre each month, you are encouraged to clear that large backlog of games you have been meaning to clear. SOMETHING NEW Or maybe you want to step out of your comfort zone and discover a new gaming experience. SOCIALIZING Make new friends, read new blogs, watch new videos, or discover new streamers playing the games relevant to your interests. YOUR GAMES What you decide to play for each month is entirely up to what is in your library.
