Fit
Corners, booths and function rooms that need a reason to fill.
Scale
1 to 8 units, more available on request; each seats eight to ten with one to four active player slots.
Format
Ongoing residency or one-off activation.
Runs on
A pod runs on standard venue power; bigger builds are power-planned at the site walk.
A lounge your floor can't scroll past.
The draw
A big 4K screen, a deep wrap-around couch and the controllers your guests have held since childhood. People who came to watch end up asking for the next controller.
The flow
Guests drop onto the couch and pick up a controller issued on a deposit at the bar. No accounts, no sign-in, no one left out; a title from the rotation is already up on the screen.
The layers
When you want more than open play, layer it on: an on-floor host, a hosted tournament night, Connected Series house nights that connect to other venues. Each is its own line on the quote, added when the moment calls for it.
What arrives with each Rekt Room.

Social play, tested on our own floors.
Shared PC and console play is part of the rhythm in our own venues: friends gather around one screen, swap controllers and stay for another round.
The experiences in this catalogue are the formats our venues run every week, configured and commissioned for other venues.

The connected layer
One floor is a start. Connected Series links it to the network.
Your venue's ladder can join fixtures against other rooms: season nights, cross-venue finals, and players who come back weekly because their team is on the board. Layered on as a program when you are ready.
Questions venues ask before they enquire.
How much space does it need?
It scales from one to eight units, with more available on request. Each unit seats eight to ten people with one to four active player slots. The fit call and site walk settle exact footprint and sightlines before anything is proposed.
What does it need from our building?
The venue supplies power and its everyday internet connection. Exact circuits are confirmed at the site walk.
Who runs it on the night?
It is venue-run and plug-and-play. Guests drop in and controllers are issued on a deposit at the bar. An on-floor host is an optional extra.
What about our internet?
Venue bandwidth is used by default. Fortress-managed networking and a 5G or Starlink uplink are optional paid add-ons when the venue connection is unsuitable or unavailable.
Do guests need to own the games?
No accounts to sign into. Pick a controller from the dock and choose from the curated rotation already loaded on the console.
What happens on quiet nights?
Open play carries a quiet night on its own. House nights, tournaments and Connected Series remain optional layers, scoped and quoted separately.
