Come and tell me all about your silly game. I bet it uses buttons.

Where are your keys?

Did you even remember to change your shirt today?

Look, The 8th (the 8th?) the 8th is the 2nd Wednesday of the month and therefore...

Yes, it's ͓̽D͓͓̽̽i͓͓̽̽r͓͓̽̽t͓͓̽̽y͓̽ ͓̽R͓͓̽̽e͓͓̽̽c͓͓̽̽t͓̽a͓͓̽̽n͓͓̽̽g͓͓̽̽l͓͓̽̽e͓͓̽̽s͓̽. See you know something!

STOP RIGHT THERE.

That's right "Timmy Thompson" (fake name). There'll be no excuse this time; no more putting yourself in a wooden box, having people burry it in the ground for you and claiming:

"Oh, I didn't know! I couldn't go!"

DIRTY RECTANGLES ONCE MORE

Beautiful!

I think this is MOST of the people who came out? We didn't take a ton of pictures.

Thanks for the great turn out y'all!

Glad everyone one enjoyed treats and peeps.

Look, my tarot reading from Alex. What reflection did it recall, what future did it foresee? That depends on you, I'll never tell.

This Sunday Aug 24th 4-6pm is our annual Summer Park party at Christie Pits.

Fun times will be had by all (MANDITORY: enforced by drone surveillance and metadata analysis)

Just a pleasant time in the park with your game makin' friends, bring your board game prototypes if you got 'em!

Hey Ottawa folks!! Just a reminder that Rectangles in Ottawa takes August off to rest! We'll be back to regular shenanigans in September.

However, for Toronto folks, you can check out the August Pit Picnic on the 24th!
August 16, 2025 at 3:50 PM
Midsomer has come and gone but the lords and ladies of lazy Sirius' "dog days" gather to ensure the heat dogs us no longer.

Outside, outside! Replace their dark and lights with light and shade.

What will their insulated reliquary contain on that curving slope down the pits of emerald?

August 24th
August 6, 2025 at 5:59 PM
Next month, no regular show.

Instead fun in the s̷n̷o̷w̷ SUN!

And maybe even rainy water? I hope not!

August 24th 4-6pm ᑕᕼᖇIᔕTIE ᑭITᔕ ᑭᗩᖇK

Dogs and sodas and whatever else people bring.

Bring a PS2 motion controller, surprise me!
July 17, 2025 at 2:24 AM
Thanks for a banger end of the Toronto summer season folks.

August Pit Picnic is coming, Aug 24th

Details to follow.

Last Dirty Rectangles of the summer before our August Pit Picnic.

July 9th!
See-scape
8pm

Just walk upstairs to the 2nd floor. No one can stop you, there is no cover and you are too powerful.

Dirty Rectangles inside - roof top patio outside.

"Come on!"
