Networked PC Gaming

Venue-ready gaming experiences

Gaming earns its space.

Fortress configures and commissions four gaming experiences for venues: Pop-Up PC Arena, Rekt Room, Tabletop Tavern and Sim Racing Garage. Each has a clear base setup, with optional staffing, managed networking, programs, Connected Series, broadcast and custom branding available where required.

Pop-Up PC Arena

The setup you need, with operating layers when you need them.

Fortress delivers, installs and supports the equipment. The operating model depends on the product: PC Arena and Rekt Room are self-serve by default; Tabletop Tavern separates a self-serve cabinet from hosted live nights; Sim Racing includes one technician per up to four simulators.

Delivery and installation

We deliver, install, test and bump out the selected setup. Final placement, access, power and venue bandwidth are confirmed before quote.

Connectivity

Connected Series

Make coming back the point.

Connected Series is an optional program layer that can be added to Pop-Up PC Arena, Rekt Room, Tabletop Tavern or Sim Racing Garage. It never runs on its own. Standings, fixtures, ladders and finals are scoped to the selected base experience.

Connected Series is separately scoped and quoted on top of the base experience.

  • Players chase a ladder across every visit, not just one big night out.
  • Where the brief calls for it, Connected Series links multiple venues into one season.
  • Presentation, broadcast and finals are added only where scoped.

Tell us what you're planning.

The first conversation is about your space, your people and what you want the floor to do. A person replies; there's no automated quote.

{{ pill.label }}

A tailored quote follows once your scope is confirmed.

No lock-in on the first call. We listen first, quote after we've seen your space.

Starting points are on each experience page and apply to the smallest standard metro configuration. Firm numbers come with the proposal, once footprint, service level, site and term are agreed.
