Event Guide

Rental advice, event planning tips, and answers to common questions.

Hosting a LAN party? Whether you're organizing a casual neighborhood gaming night or a high-energy esports mini-tournament, the right table and chair setup can make or break the experience.

Basic Setup Guide:

  • Players: Each player needs space for their monitor/laptop, peripherals, and elbow room.
  • Tables: One 8-foot table comfortably fits 2 players with full PC setups. You can squeeze 3 for console play.
  • Chairs: Match the player count. If you expect 12 gamers, get at least 12 chairs—plus 3–5 extras for spectators or breaks.
  • Power Access: Plan surge protectors and power strips for each table. Every player will need at least one outlet, sometimes two.

Room Layout Tips:

  • Leave at least 3 feet between tables so people can move around freely with cables on the floor.
  • Consider U-shapes or rows depending on space. Avoid crowding—heat and clutter kill the vibe.
  • Designate a corner or separate table for snacks, drinks, and casual seating.

Comfort & Style Enhancers:

  • Provide extra tables for gear storage and cooling fans for longer sessions.
  • Add dark tablecloths for a polished gaming center look.
  • Label stations or assign spots in advance for large groups.
