Esports Arena
Sixty competition seats facing a big stage screen with live commentary. Sign up for the daily qualifiers at the arena desk, or just grab a seat in the stands and watch. The finals on day 2 are the loudest night of the trip.
Home / Entertainment
Game zones · included in every ticket
Six zones. Zero downtime.
Everything on this page is included in both tickets and open to all ages unless noted. None of it is gambling: no stakes, no cash prizes.
VR & Simulator Zone
Motion racing rigs, a full flight-simulator cockpit and free-roam VR shooter bays on deck 9. Staff help with setup and keep sessions short enough that everyone gets a turn.
Retro Arcade
Classic upright cabinets, sit-down racers and a row of pinball tables. Every machine is set to free play, so there are no coins, no tokens and no prizes, just high scores on the leaderboard.
Streaming Studio
Stream your run live from a soundproofed room with two cameras, lighting, a capture setup and a fast uplink. Book a one-hour slot at the arena desk. A technician gets you on air.
Beta Lounge
The Test Zone itself. Partner studios bring games that are not released yet. Play early builds, fill in a short feedback card and talk to the developers who made them.
Game Night Quiz
Teams of up to six, buzzers on the table, and rounds on game history, soundtracks and pixel-art guessing. A new quiz every evening, with merch prizes for the winning team.
