In a world where gaming and music intersect to create vibrant communities, D-CAVE sought to manifest this synergy into a tangible experience. The objective was ambitious: to craft an immersive cultural event that would bridge the gap between the gaming and music worlds, fostering unity and excitement in the heart of New York City.

TRANSFORMING THE ORIGINAL BANK OF NY


Choosing the iconic Original Bank of NY as our arena, we set out to transform this historic space into a dynamic hub of gaming and music culture. Our experience strategy was to divide the venue into dedicated zones, each offering a unique blend of retail, competition, and entertainment, all while preserving the building’s grandeur and historical significance.
