We are non-profit – the ticket price covers the venue hire, internet and insurance costs, and everyone, including us organisers, pays for a ticket.

We believe that an exceptional LAN is much more than just a room full of gamers and their computers; our LANs are a celebration of shared game experiences. You suggest the games we play together, you decide the soundtrack, and we immerse the venue in lighting, and together we cultivate a friendly social atmosphere for game-lovers of all backgrounds and skill levels.

You decide which games we timetable for the event. To give you a better idea, here are a few favourites from past events:
