It’s the moment you have all been waiting for!  This Thursday, April 16th, Get in Line launches at the CMU Spring Carnival, and our games will be featured across midway, buggy events and alumni gatherings all three days of Carnival (Thursday, Friday and Saturday).  The game experiences range from trivia games which put guests’ knowledge of Spring Carnival and Sweepstakes to the test, to a button mash game where guests can race buggies up a hill, and cheer on their team downhill to gain additional speed.

Guests will be able to play our games, earning points and achievements along the way which will be tracked online.  Leaderboards will run on video interstitial between games, showing the avatars of the top players for all to see!  When you get to carnival stop by our booth near the Alumni relations booth and pick up a map to check out all our game locations!
