  • Three coordinated rounds

    The dodge, hit and build mechanics with the agreed music treatment.

  • A complete team journey

    Briefing, scoring, leaderboard and changeover behavior integrated with the custom enclosure.

During the run—and after it

The host handles briefing and changeover while a technician maintains the installation. Touring, storage, music rights and additional live days require an explicit scope.
