Ninten-DOME Gaming Event

Clash of the Controllers

Get ready to shell out some serious competition at the Ninten-DOME: Clash of the Controllers! It’s time to mushroom boost your social life and drift into a night of Mario Kart mayhem with your fellow residents. Victory is just a banana peel away!

How to Host:

• Choose the Right Space & Set Up a “DOME” Atmosphere:
  Reserve a common area like the clubhouse or lounge. Decorate with Nintendo-themed items—balloons, posters, and cardboard cutouts. A projector or large TV enhances visibility for spectators and players alike.

• Gaming Gear & Tournament Structure:
  Use Nintendo Switch consoles with multiple controllers. Borrow extras from residents if needed. Create a bracket or heat-style race structure to keep the competition moving and engaging for both casual and competitive players.

• Promotion & Sign-Up:
  Use flyers, community bulletin boards, email blasts, and social media groups to spread the word. Encourage early sign-ups to plan heats, but allow walk-ins to keep it open and casual.

• Themed Snacks & Prizes:
  Offer “Power-Up Punch,” “Banana Bread Bites,” and other playful treats. Award themed prizes like Mario Kart figurines, gift cards, or even a “Golden Controller” trophy to winners.

• Engage Spectators:
  Set up a chill area with comfy seating, snacks, and music. Keep non-players entertained with quick mini-games or Nintendo trivia between rounds.

Why This Event Works:

• Easy Entry, High Engagement:
  Mario Kart is accessible to all ages and skill levels—no steep learning curve means everyone can join in and have fun.

• Builds Community Connection:
  Shared laughter, lighthearted competition, and rooting for neighbors creates stronger resident bonds and good vibes.

• Affordable & Scalable:
  Minimal cost if consoles are resident-owned or borrowed, and the event scales well from 10 to 50+ participants.
