There's a massive gaming and coding pop-up at Reem Mall right now
Reem Mall is having a gaming takeover this month, and we cannot keep calm about it.
Running until Sunday June 29, E-Sports transforms Reem Mall into a full-on digital playground.
Expect hands-on action across popular titles like Fall Guys, Fortnite, EA FC, Roblox, and even Scratch coding challenges, open to all and completely free to enter. And with over Dhs50,000 in prizes on the line, the stakes are delightfully high.
Gamers can compete in weekly time trials for Fall Guys and Fortnite's Only Up challenge, where you'll get three tries to clock your best time.
Hit the top of the leaderboard and you could walk away with exclusive weekly prizes.
Meanwhile, the EA FC Tournament sees players, including mall visitors and participants from invited schools, face off in knockout football matches until a final matchday showdown. Again, the top three finishers won't leave empty-handed.
For the younger crowd, there's a strong focus on tech and education.
Backed by the Abu Dhabi Department of Education and Knowledge (ADEK), Tomorrow's Game Developers – Tech invites little ones aged six to nine to team up and create their own video games using the Scratch platform to code.
Submissions will be judged on creativity, gameplay mechanics and overall design by real-life industry pros.
Then there's the Roblox Educational Building Challenge, where students get to design robotic avatars that are not only fun to look at but also mechanically clever. Judging is based on functionality and aesthetics, with the best creations scoring prizes and serious bragging rights.
Weekly winners will be spotlighted on a dedicated Wall of Fame at the mall.
Ready to impress the world with your gaming prowess? Head to Reem Mall now.
