We have been thrilled by the support shown for this event, from both our suppliers and our clients. With some suppliers adding to our prize pool on a daily basis. But with a little more than a week to go, I am sure you all have lots of questions, like “How is it all going to work?”, “How do I win prizes?”, “What do I get as part of my ticket?” and “What if I can’t do the full 24 hrs?”. If so, this post is just for you!!
First up, let’s talk about the day and what you can expect as an attendee.
Q1: How will the event work?
The event will start at 12:00 midday on the 21st September in the upstairs area of the Cafe. The upstairs will be closed for attendee use only. At 17:30, when the cafe closes, the rest of the cafe will be opened up for you to spread your legs and maybe find that table you need to play your rival at Dreadball or solo a full Arkham horror campaign. Then unfortunately, you will be confined to the upstairs from 9:30 on the 22nd September until we conclude the event at 12:00 midday. A variety of fun events, tournaments and spot prizes will happen throughout the event.
Q2: What exactly do you mean by food and drinks included?
Good question. Each participant will be provided with all the nourishment they would need for 24 hrs of gaming (depending on how much coffee you drink). You will be given a set lunch, dinner and breakfast, as well as bottomless coffee, hot chocolate and tea (and tap water 😋). Snacks will be served in between to keep you going. All of this retails between £80 and £120 (depending on how much you eat and drink). You will also be able to purchase additional items from the cafe, with all profits contributing to the total pot to the charity.
Q3: Do I need to stay up and attend the full 24hrs?
No. Not at all. It’s a challenge for a reason, and some people won’t make it. However how far you get and how well you do will impact your prize opportunities.
Q4: Prizes you say? Tell me more!
Yes, lots of prizes. We announcing our supporters and the prizes on our Facebook page as we lead up to the event. It’s not all Boardgames, but they are awesome prizes from our lovely community of suppliers we use and support ourselves. Prizes will be given out in three main ways:
Participants who complete a challenge or tournament during the event
Fun prize giving for Participants based on observed behaviour at the end of the event
Winners of the Raffle draw (Open to everyone)
Q5: I can’t attend, but love the idea. How can I show my support?
Firstly, I am sorry you can’t attend. If all goes well, hopefully we can do it again next year. But for this year, your support would be greatly appreciated! You can show your support on two ways:
Spread the word and let everyone know about the event.
Buy a ticket to the raffle. We will provide more details in due time, but the raffle is a great way to add to the total pot to the charity. Tickets will be available before and during the event. With the draw taking place on the 22nd September at around midday.
I am sure you have more questions and we are always listening. Please let us know and we will add the question and the answer to this blog post for all to see.
