MANCHESTER AMATEUR GAMING LEAGUE

Join us for Manchester’s first amateur gaming league! It’s a pub quiz vibe with a gaming angle! Form your team of four pals and head down to sit in our cinema playing the best video games out there on our absolutely stellar cinema screen and gut churning sound system vying to beat out 11 other teams of gaming nerds in a series of mystery console and PC based challenges. This IS NOT a serious gaming tournament, this is a chance to bring back the glory days of couch gaming on an epic scale. We’re in it for the fun of it.

But how does it actually work?!

Book your team in using the links at the bottom of this page, turn up on the night at 7pm sharp to register your team, 7.30pm the first round begins and a random team will be up first having no idea what the first game will be, 7.31pm the game is revealed and the team will need to decide who from their team is going to be nominated to play, the rest of the teams jump on the couch and we play through the round, rinse and repeat for round 2 & 3, points are allocated for each round so at the end of the night a winning team will be crowned! IT’S AS SIMPLE AS THAT!

What games will WE be playing?

Who knows! What we can tell you is that we’ll be bringing games from the past 50 years right up to absolutely brand spanking new releases, there will be time trials, there will be high score battles, there will be head to head battles, there will be weird controllers, there will be blockbusters, there will be left field indie games and you won’t know what the games are until the very second the round begins.

I’m a child can I come along?

Nope. This is a strictly adult event and no children will be admitted. Sorry about that.

Hold on wasn’t there just a pandemic?

Yes which is why this event has been delayed for quite a while! And we know people are still rightly concerned by it so we’ll be taking precautions to ensure everyone sharing pads and controllers has access to alcohol gel and wipes so it is as sanitary as possible.

How do I book on and how much does it cost?

Well the good news is it’s free! All we ask is that you pay a £20 deposit per four player team which will be returned to you on the night in the form of drinks vouchers to get that first round in. Please use the link below and select the desired date to make your reservation, team places are VERY LIMITED and we expect this event to be popular so don’t hang about…
