Everything you need to know about Checkpoint tournaments.

Everyone. Our events are truly all-ages — kids, teens, parents, and beyond. Players under 13 should be accompanied by a parent or adult. Games are family-friendly and the atmosphere is welcoming for newcomers and veterans alike.

Nope. We provide all consoles, games, and controllers. If you have a personal controller you prefer, bring it — but it's not required.

Typically 2 to 2.5 hours. Registration and warm-ups start around 6:30–7:00 PM and we crown a winner by around 9:00 PM. Weeknight-friendly by design.

Spectators are always welcome and always free. That said, most people end up wanting to jump in — and we encourage it.

We rotate titles to keep things fresh and announce the game for each event in advance on the Tournaments page. We love community suggestions and often poll players for upcoming games.

Your entry fee covers the full event experience — multiple tournament rounds, side games, and in many venues a food or drink deal as part of the night. Prizes for winners are included too.

Find your event on the Tournaments page and hit Register. Each event has its own registration link. Spots are limited — register early.
