BLits 2023 Anniversary Celebration

Hey, buddies! We’re back with some exciting news – October is the official anniversary of BLits Games, and just like every year, we plan on celebrating with a couple of big events! Please read the post below for full details about our Anniversary Sale and Art Contest!

Camp Buddy & Scoutmaster Season Art Contest!

This year is not only a BLits Anniversary, but also a special time for Camp Buddy – it’s been five whole years since the game came out, and as a dual celebration, we’ll be holding another Art Contest! The rules are similar to the three contests we’ve had in the past, but please read the post below for full details on themes and prizes!

This contest will feature the theme: “Into the Future”! Five years after Camp Buddy, BLits is looking ahead, and wants everyone else to do the same! Draw the characters of Camp Buddy or Scoutmaster season in the distant or near future after Camp Buddy, living their lives five or more years after the events of the first game! We’re so excited to see what everyone thinks the scouts will be doing later in life!

See below for full details of the contest:
