NAVA = North Atlantic Videogame Aficionados. This is a FREE event bringing gamers together for competition, trading, and chatter.

- Gamers, collectors and friends shared their recent adventures and sold or traded their goods.
In This Month's NAVA: We celebrate the humble puzzle game. Across every console and generation, titles like Tetris, Puyo Puyo, and Candy Crush have introduced many to gaming, and have provided the best way to relax, kill the time, or prove your mastery. So leave your swords at home, park your racecar in the garage, and grab a joystick to show your love for the tricky trials of tetrominoes at Puzzlepalooza!
Arcade Challenge: There's only one game we could possibly choose for our arcade challenge this month, and it comes all the way "From Russia with FUN"! Arguably the most famous videogame of all time, TETRIS will challenge your skill at sorting various shapes in order to clear lines. Easy to learn but impossible to master, play a round and put up the best score on this game by 9pm and win a nifty $20 gift certificate. Arcade challenge games are set to FREE PLAY all day, but please remember to let everyone get a shot. If you get the high score, move on, and no hogging the game! Also if you have won last month’s arcade challenge you are not eligible to win this month’s challenge.
6PM Tournament: Do you have what it takes to be a Pokemon Puzzle Master? Jump into our POKEMON PUZZLE LEAGUE tournament to put your skills to the test. This is a version of the classic puzzle game PANEL DE PON, which fuses its classic line-clearing action with the colorful world of Pokemon. Sign-ups begin at 3pm, the tournament starts after 6pm in this first-come, first-served and as always at NAVA, FREE-to-join tournament. Winners receive a $20 gift certificate!
Remember, you can bring a box or two of your trade goodies. We'll help you administer sales and get you set up somewhere in the store to sell your goods, there is no charge for this perk, NAVA is the time for trading!
