ABOUT THE PARTY PLACE
The party is set in a beautiful culture home, where you will find a spacious and bright hall with comfy sofas and tables.
The main hall is used as a movie theater, so it can be darkened very nicely.
Inside, there is a big screen, which is kind of old, but it works amazingly, and gives a certain mood to the show.
There will be enough tables and chairs. We are stacking up extension cords, but it's welcome if you bring your own.
The garden, framed with pine trees, is perfectly suitable for camping, if the weather allows.
You will find tables and chairs in the garden, along with some nice blankets to boost your comfort.
For the joy of smokers and for all the outdoor souls, the events on the stage are visible and within hearing distance from outside.
The only thing that could ruin everything, if we had a really crappy and rainy weather :-)
WHAT TO BRING?
Whatever you may need. Nobody will laugh at you, if you show up with a traveling bag.
Release. Of course it's not a must, but we would love to have more releases to boost the party.
If you prefer, bring a sleeping bag, pillow, accessories that you need for taking a shower and everything else you can't live without during the 1,5 days.
If the weather is nice, there will be outdoor events too. If you wish to take part, bring some clothes that you don't mind to get dirty.
Bring all the money you wish to turn into wine, or if you prefer ATM's, there is one at the entrance and there are two other ones nearby within 300m.
THE AREA
There is a Tesco supermarket next to the party place, a tobacco shop, a gym, and a bakery.
In the other direction, there is a gas station and another tobacco shop.

#generic-compo-rules
Generic compo rules for every platform
- Entries will be accepted on the following media: USB drive, SD card. Naturally, you will get these back after we copied the entries to the compo machine.
- Remote contributions are allowed.
- The organizers reserve the right to remove entries from competitions. These entries won't be shown, won't be spread and won't be votable. In individual competitions this usually means preselection to avoid a huge amount of entries to be presented, in other competitions it solely means quality control and eventual compatibility problems. If your entry doesn't run on the compo machine, we'll do our best to help you to get it running though.
- Previously released material is not allowed. Covers, remixes and derivative works can only be entered with the consent of the original author.
- For every entry we'd like to ask for a FILE_ID.DIZ (if the platform allows so), containing the prod's name and author, optionally the compo and party. (Note: Traditionally FILE_ID.DIZ's are 40 characters wide at most.)
- The compo entry must be packed together with either ZIP or RAR (or the best packer on that given platform). We will not accept unpacked entries, and we will not pack your entry for you.
- For PC compos, the latest DirectX end-user runtime will be installed on the compo machine.
- By entering, you also agree on having your works uploaded to our website after the party and to various larger demoscene FTP servers (scene.org)
- The maximum resolution of the projector is 1920x1080 (1080p), so please respect that and don't go over it, because it might result in your entry breaking.
- We add special award for the best qbasic Prod.. Just for fun.. :P
- If the platform allows, please make a preview of your product and upload it to the partynet as help for identification.
- Remote Deadline: Same as normal deadline!

THE OFFICIAL PART, THE PARTY RULES.
-
Smoking indoors and in the garden is absolutely forbidden.
-
The garden is not a smoking area.
We will place trash bins,
and we kindly ask everyone to use them.
The garden is very beautiful we wouldn't want to ruin it,
nor set it on fire.
-
Alcohol consumption is permitted of course, with moderation.
Take care of each other and the building as well.
-
Marketing setups or commercial activities at the event venue are not permitted without the prior consent of the event owner. In case of violation, the party involved is required to support the event with a penalty of 50,000HUF per day.
-
The use of any kind of illegal drugs is forbidden.
-
Connecting anything non-IT gadget (over 500 watts) to the electric network is forbidden.
It might cause a blackout. However, if you absolutely need to do so, please ask the staff members for permission first.
-
Entering a marked "Organizer only" area without permission from an organizer, will result in getting banned from the event. Please respect the wishes of the organizers.
- We kindly ask everyone, please take care of the party place, including the vegetation!
- Any damage has to be reimbursed.
- If the damage has to be paid from the party budget, it might just as well mean that this will be the last party at this place.
- The responsibility for your own valuables is on you. The staff can't take responsibility for any belongings you lose.
- Fortunately, there haven't been any kind of damages caused or valuables stolen at Hungarian parties for ages, and we'd like it to stay that way.
- It's not mandatory, but highly recommended that you use the selective trash cans!
- By visiting our event you implicitly agree to be videotaped or photographed. For your information, we will also have an internet stream, which will be recorded and later published on well known video streaming sites. Furthermore, many of the visitors will create their own photos and record videos, and the location is also equipped with security cameras. That said, when taking videos or photos we kindly ask you to be considerate about the privacy of others.
Any kind of violation of the party rules means a permanent ban from the party!

#faq
Is there a place to sleep?
Yes, there will be a couple of smaller sleeping rooms.
Can I attend even though I am not a scener myself and I know nothing about the demoscene?
Of course, you are very welcome!
Is there a buffet at the party place?
No.
Can I bring my food and drinks?
Yes.
Is there an ATM nearby?
Yes, three of them. One at the entrance (OTP), one at the entrance of Tesco (K&H), and another one in about three minutes of walk.
Do I have to bring a computer or a laptop?
No, the choice is yours.
How can I vote?
You will get a code with your ticket, which will grant you access to our network where the voting happens. If you need any help, the staff is there to help you. If you didn't bring any gadget that could handle this, there is a device available at the Info Desk.
Is this a LAN party?
No, it's not.
Where can I park?
There is plenty of space in front of the party place, and even behind it.
Is it awkward if I come with my travel bag?
Nope.
Are tents allowed in the yard?
Sure. Have sweet Dreams ;)
What should I wear?
Whatever feels suitable, there will be party t-shirts. We advise you to bring a second set of clothes, especially if you wish to take part in the outdoor events.
How do I get to the place?
It is really easy. We are 35 minutes away from Budapest Eastern Train station (Keleti Pályaudvar), about the same time by bus too. For more information, please read the Location section.
Can I book a room somewhere nearby?
Yes, if you wish to sleep somewhere else than the party place, we can help you with accommodation, but it's important to book early.
Taxi?
Yes. But be aware, never take a random taxi if you are a foreigner and not speaking Hungarian. If you need a taxi, call by phone from official companies and always ask for the price before entering.
Can I dance?
Yes, until you are boo-ed off the dance floor.
Will there be internet connection?
We hope so, it would be strange without it.
Is it possible to do some karaoke?
If there is a demand, we can sort it out.
Can I buy food or drinks nearby?
Yes, during the day. Tesco is open until 10PM and there is a pastry nearby. There are other small shops in the area.
Is there a tobacco store around?
Yes, next to the Tesco store.
Will you have something for my headache?
Yes, ask the info desk.
Is it a problem if I can't bring a release?
We won't bite your head off, but it would be nice if you'd bring one :-)
Is it okay If I attend only to play games?
No one will forbid. However, we recommend that you take an active part in party events.
How can I send my release?
You can send it in e-mail or simply give to us at the party or upload via the local network. If you need help, please contact the organizers.
Can I bring my retro/brand new/monster rig/special/etc. gadget to show off?
Yes and we appreciate it! If you plan to show a lot of stuff, please contact the organizers beforehand.
Is the place far from the train-station? Where should I go?
It is about 5 minutes away, and we will stamp arrows to help you find the place.
Is there a gas station nearby?
Yes, really close.
What does "QB" stand for?
The name is just a word joke, QB->sounds similar to CUBE (it is the English translation of the word "kocka", the way nerds are called in Hungary)
Why did you cut the competition list?
Based on the experience of the last three years, we experience what the community needs. We want to have a great party. It doesn't make sense to have compos with only 1 or 2 entries.
Are bans permanent?
Yes if you were banned, don't even try.
Do you post my prize?
Sadly YES!, Ask your friend to take it from us and bring it to you! Or We will post it to you the prize later. (shipping costs apply)
Any other questions?
Write to us!

Signing up is optional and helps us to estimate the amount of visitors we're going to have. It's also cool for the other visitors to see who they might meet at the party.
