Gaming tournament
on a big screen
Players race against each other on a big screen, with a tournament schedule, a leaderboard and a final with the whole room gathered round.
How a gaming tournament works
A gaming tournament at a party or company outing starts with sign-up. Anyone who wants to plays a few races against three others in the qualifying rounds. The points go on a leaderboard that's on screen all evening.
The best players go through to the semi-finals and the final, and then the rest of the room gathers round. Racing games like Mario Kart work well for this. Everyone gets the rules in a few seconds and a race can turn on the last bend, so even people who never play games can win.
- Big screen, consoles, controllers and games included
- A game host who keeps track of the schedule and leaderboard
- Qualifying rounds, semi-finals and a final
- For a company outing, staff party, birthday or hen or stag party
From sign-up to final
Sign up
Players sign up with the host, on their own or as a pair. Anyone who has never played gets a quick explanation of the buttons.
Qualifying rounds
In short heats, a few players race against each other at a time. Every race earns points, and after each heat the leaderboard on the screen changes.
Semi-finals
The best players from the qualifying rounds race each other again, on a trickier track. This is where you see who's genuinely good and who just got lucky.
Final
The last race on the big screen, with the whole room watching. The winner gets the prize you chose beforehand, and the glory until the next party.
A gaming tournament as a company outing
At a company outing or staff party, a gaming tournament works well as part of the evening. It runs in the background: people do a race when they feel like it and then head back to the bar. Towards the end, the final becomes the moment everyone stays for.
If you want to go bigger, we combine it with a race simulator with seat and steering wheel, or a VR activity. For a trade show or open day we also make a promotional game with your own logo.
In the canteen, a hall or at home
A gaming tournament needs space for the screen, a few chairs for the players and room for an audience. A canteen, function room, meeting room or large living room is enough. We bring the screen, the consoles and the host.
We're based in Enschede and play all over the Netherlands. It works for a birthday or hen or stag party too, with a tournament schedule that suits your group.
The price depends on the duration, the number of screens and the venue. You'll have it within 1 working day of a short enquiry.
Mario Kart is a Nintendo trademark. AvonturenEvents is not affiliated with Nintendo and uses the name only to describe the kind of racing game you can expect.
Frequently asked questions
Which games do you play at a gaming tournament?
Mainly racing games, because they're quick to explain and exciting to watch. Mario Kart is the best-known example. If you'd prefer a different game, just ask and we'll see whether it works as a tournament.
Can it be a Mario Kart tournament?
Yes. A Mario Kart tournament works well, because lots of people have played it before, the races are short and the items keep it unpredictable right up to the finish.
Do you need to be a gamer to take part?
No. In a racing game you learn the buttons in a few minutes, and thanks to the items and corners anyone can win a race. Experienced players have a head start, but it's smaller than you'd think.
How many players race at once?
Four players race at a time on each screen. With more screens, more heats run side by side, so everyone gets more turns. We match the number of screens we bring to your group.
What does a gaming tournament cost?
The price depends on the duration, the number of screens, the number of players and the venue. You'll receive a proposal within 1 working day.
