The Return of Fan Favorite Event - Video Game Night, but with a twist!
What's up Gamers! Noah or ‘Rift’ as my online peeps call me, back again here on the Kava Luv blog, and I've got some exciting stuff to talk about today. I’m proud to announce that I will be taking on the mantle of hosting Video Game Night! Lets deep dive into how this all came to be, my vision and what you should expect to see with me leading this fan favorite event, and some other fun stuff too.
It’s been a little over one year since Video Game Night first came to fruition by Harry and his ETC brand. The level of impact his game night made was seismic and revolutionized the landscape of social gaming, and the memories made are still reminisced upon to this day. It was more than just an evening of gaming; it was an occasion that forged connections, and resparked that childish nostalgia of old Call of Duty & Halo LAN parties.
The flow of life eventually carried Harry onto a new path though, bringing him towards different ventures and responsibilities. This shift marked the end of an era for Game Night and left a noticeable void in the fabric of Kava Luv events. Video Game Night was left in a state of indefinite dormancy, the community yearning for its revival.
5 months later and a divinely timed conversation with Mike, and here we are! “If anyone were to do it, it should be you," he told me. And I told him that I wouldn't do it unless I had the resources to make it as perfect as I possibly could, and the ideas for this revamp instantly started flowing! So let's get into what's changed!
Firstly, “Game Night” is the official new name. I realized that Video Games aren't for everyone, but those people would still love to participate in a great Kava Luv event! So the plan is to incorporate Board Games & Card Games on top of the traditional Video Games you would see during Video Game Night. You will also be seeing some new games in the roster, so stay tuned! Secondly, the event will fall on Friday Nights now instead of Saturdays and will start at 7pm and play into the night. Lastly, we’re taking Game Night to the next level with a strong competitive focus. I’ve planned out a tournament system and a ticket/raffle system complementing it that spans the entire month. It's an exciting opportunity for everyone to compete, win prizes, and fully immerse themselves in the thrilling world of gaming.
How exactly does this new system work you might be asking?
Well, just like before, to participate, all it takes is a purchase of a beverage. Upon purchase, your kavatender will provide you with a color-coded wristband, signifying your entry into the ticket earning game of your choice. A fresh raffle will be commencing at the start of every month, and tickets you earn each Friday will accumulate over the course of those 4-5 weeks. The end of the month sees the eagerly anticipated raffle drawing, with a prize such as drink cards, a gift card, or kava luv merch up for grabs. To keep the excitement and anticipation high, we've meticulously planned the games in advance. Games will rotate throughout the weeks and months to ensure a dynamic and ever-changing array of experiences. Fan favorites like Super Smash Bros & Mario Kart will be the first to return for tournaments this October, our kickoff month for the raffle! Uno and Rummy card games on the table will also be played as alternative tournaments in order to earn tickets!
I can't wait to welcome you to this revamped Game Night, where brand new gaming adventures await, and every move made will be a chance for triumph. Keep an eye on Kava Luv's Instagram for updates, and don't forget to save the date for the exciting launch of the new Game Night!
