BELONG OVERVIEW

• Belong is an experience led proposition giving gamers a location to meet, play and

socialise together

• We have 19 Belong arenas and one gaming bar (Alt bar, Nottingham)

• The arenas have a minimum of 12 stations, offering gamers rentals of high spec. PC’s with

a choice of titles to play, or login to their own accounts

• In the evenings and weekends, Belong runs a set of preplanned tournament and

community event content that can be played on PC or console (XBOX One/ PS4)

• This is supported by Belong.gg, a booking and esports tournament management

platform

• Each arena has its own Tribe identity, built around the sense of affinity to that area/ town

e.g. the worker bee is the symbol of Manchester so the tribe is known as the ‘Manchester

Swarm’

• Each tribe has their own social media accounts, with a national Belong account

supporting with retweets/ news to the wider Belong community
