On-stage activities will be hosted by LEVELUPLEROY and include game tournaments, speedrunners and our brand new cosplay show, with an evening headlined by none other than the host of the hit 90's TV show Gamesmaster, DOMINIK DIAMOND, live and in-person!
As ever, expect hundreds of games and consoles to play, but for this event we're adding something SPECIAL! For the first time ever, we're offering everyone the chance to win big with a grand prize competition, which we're calling EVERYBODY PLAYS! For every video game you play at OLL '26 you'll earn a chance to win rewards in our end-of-day prize draws.
And, for those with a competitive edge, we've got a set of special challenges inspired by a certain 90's TV show, with the top scorers invited to participate in the final challenges on-stage during our main evening event with Dominik Diamond!
