About this Event

Insert your coins to play The Wrench, brought to you by the Dallas Society of Visual Communications! This isn't your casual side quest—it's a boss battle where only the fiercest designers will rise to the top. Prepare for an all-out design showdown where the stakes are high and the rewards are legendary!

Open Entry: Feeling a little nervous? No sweat—The Wrench is all about leveling up together. If you’re in your first five years as a designer, this is your chance to challenge yourself in a fun, supportive environment. No need to be perfect—just bring your creativity and see how far you can go. It’s a great way to test your skills, meet other designers, and power up without the pressure.

Showcase Your Combo Moves: The Wrench is for those who grind, who can turn chaos into high score masterpieces, and who thrive in the face of pressure.

LIVE FINALE SHOWDOWN: This is where it all goes down, in front of a live audience full of design pros and fans who are waiting for the epic finish. Watch as the top players enter the arena for a boss battle that will test every pixel of their design skills. Only the best will claim the title!
