Absolutely! Saturday, 27 June is our suggested date, but you can choose any date (or dates) that work best for you.

Does my challenge have to be a full 24 hours?

Not at all. The 24-hour gaming challenge is really flexible.

While some participants love the idea of a 24-hour gaming marathon, many prefer spreading it out, doing shorter sessions, or team relays.
