Gaming and geek culture website FandomSpot has launched a competition to find the best home gaming setup — from the glitziest, the most creative, to the sleekest style.

Entrants have the chance to win a gaming voucher worth $250 (or £ equivalent*) for the platform of their choice
Any gamer from the UK or US is invited to enter and share with FandomSpot their gaming setup

For dedicated gamers, spending hours at a time sitting playing video games is commonplace. Whether it’s streaming to a loyal audience, raiding into the early hours with the squad, or simply a means to unwind at the end of a busy day, many of us will happily whittle down the hours playing video games in the comfort of our home. This is why FandomSpot has launched a competition to reveal the best home gaming setup.

Alongside a passion for gaming, whether it be on PC, PS5, Xbox Series X, Switch, or one of the plethora of retro consoles available from generations past, many gamers have a habit of pimping up their gaming setups to ensure their sessions are done in style and comfort.

From PC’s with elaborate lighting illuminating the desk in an orange hue, to ceiling mounted projectors broadcasting gameplay twenty-foot wide, FandomSpot wants to see where you do your gaming, and crown one lucky gamer the owner of The Best Gaming Setup.

It doesn’t matter if you have a custom, hand built desk, dual screens surrounded by Funko Pops, or even a gaming den hidden beneath the stairs; any gamer from the UK or US is invited to enter and share with FandomSpot their setup for the chance to take the title and win a gaming voucher to spend on console or PC.

The prize: The winning entrant will receive $250 (or £ equivalent*) of gaming vouchers for the platform of their choice (subject to availability).

To enter, simply click on the link below, submit a photo of your gaming setup and fill in a little information about yourself.

The competition closes on the 28th March 2021, so make sure you enter your gaming setup now if you want to be crowned the owner of The Best Gaming Setup.

*For circumstances where a UK resident is named winner, we will take the exchange rate value of $250, on the date the competition closes.

Alyssa Celatti at FandomSpot.com and video game expert comments:

“Every gamer is guilty of staying up way too late playing video games—even to the point where it’s affected our work or school—but whether we’re playing with our buddies or getting invested into an epic storyline, marathon gaming sessions wouldn’t be possible without a comfortable gaming setup.

“It doesn’t matter if you play at a desk with a mouse and keyboard, or sink back into a comfortable couch with a gamepad, we want to see everyone’s gaming setup and crown one as the best, rewarding the winner with a voucher they can redeem on even more games, and further excuses to stay in their epic setup!”

With Portside Game Assembly, Gamecity Hamburg is welcoming studio heads and directors from successful indie game studios on a conference ship and other extraordinary locations in Hamburg on June 27. Benjamin Laulan, Co-Founder of Evil Empire, (Dead Cells, The Rogue Prince of Persia) will give a keynote on the Triple-i Initiative started by the French studio. At the Triple-i Showcase 2024, over 30 “iii games” were announced in 45 minutes, and 150,000 views were achieved on YouTube alone. Further speaker on board is Philomena Schwab, Founder of Stray Fawn Studio (Dungeon Clawler, The Wandering Village).

Portside Game Assembly celebrates its premiere as B2B-conference for international indie game leaders on June 27. There will be no direct ticket sales for the conference; instead, a curated list of participants will ensure that only studio heads and decision makers attend the conference on board a ship sailing through the port of Hamburg.

At the same time, the Networking Brunch and the Games Industry Party are open as networking events for interested contacts from the games industry to bring platform holders, publishers, and game companies into contact with the international conference participants. Studio leads from Denmark, Sweden, Switzerland, the UK, France, Spain, Canada, the USA, and Germany are already on board for the conference.

Portside Game Assembly is set to be a platform for decision makers and studio leads to exchange ideas, learn from each other, and face the challenges of the games industry through collaboration.

As the first announced talk of the conference, Benjamin Laulan (Co-Founder of Evil Empire) will present a keynote on the Triple-i Initiative and how to create your own announcement space and talk directly to your audience when you can’t really relate to other existing showcases. In addition, Philomena Schwab (Founder of Stray Fawn Studio & Publishing) will give a short talk about ways for game idea validation.

The program of the Portside Game Assembly will consist of keynotes, short talks, and roundtables.
