Penny Arcade Game
After almost ten years of writing about gaming, the creators of Penny Arcade decided to team up with Hothead Games to create their own game, Adventures of Penny Arcade: On the Rain-Slick Precipice of Darkness. The download-able adventure game features hobos, barber shop singers, and many of the secondary Penny Arcade characters that viewers have grown to love. It also allows players to design their own character. New episodes will be released for Xbox 360 and PC several times a year, with the first release in the spring of 2008. -
Penny Arcade Expo
In addition to the web comic and video game, Holkins and Krahulik put on the Penny Arcade Expo, a weekend-long gaming convention for all gamers—computer, console, and table top. The expo takes place every year in August at the Washington State Convention and Trade Center. More than 37,000 people attended in 2007. -
Child's Play
The busy creators of Penny Arcade also host Child's Play, a charity that has raised over $1.25 million for children's hospitals through the donations of gamers and fans. -
