Pixel Picnics has landed to liven up your end of week lunchtimes and squeeze your creative juices. So what is it? A handsome question to which the answer is thus; a social gaming platform built especially for creatives. Y’see? Just out of beta, you can expect daily challenges and mini games plus a lively weekly LIVE game (with a real life presenter) specifically targeted toward creative folk like me and thee.

Played through your Twitter account, it’ll consume 25 minutes of fun every Friday lunchtime – 1.00pm UK time (sorry overseas folks) – with the chance to interact with other likeminded folk, prizes are dished out for the fastest fingers – awesome prizes in fact, donated by top notch sponsors including FontDeck, and Treehouse. Does your boat duly float? The games are free to play, social and thereby signify the start of the weekend!

Founded and pioneered by Craig Lockwood, you can read a bit more about the games’ genesis on his blog. So turn on and and tune in playa, there’s a handy taster below (Star Wars themed from May 4th) – head on over to the site for more details and follow PP on Twitter here… have fun chums.
