• Surprise Minecraft Tour - everyone in the community was invited to make a surprise for Phanx in a creative Minecraft server. We will tour the builds and experience the surprises that the community has made. You don't need Minecraft, just a comfy seat while Phanx tours the server on stream.
• Party Games w/ Viewers - To continue the celebration we will play Jackbox/Drawful and other games with viewers.  All party games will be free to viewers to play, and require no downloads, so just show up!
• If there is no interest from the viewers to play Party Games we will fall back to playing single player games where the audience/viewers get to influence ALL decisions (help).
