QUICK QUESTIONS? SORTED.
I’ve just graduated and haven’t started a job yet – can I still take part?
Yes! If you’re currently job hunting or in between roles, you’re still eligible. We’ll help place you into a team with other Collegiate Series grads or connect you with companies already competing. Stay in the scene and build some powerful new networks while you’re at it.
I’m new at my company and don’t know any other gamers – how do I find teammates?
You’re not alone. Many grads feel the same when starting out. The best move? Register yourself and we’ll either help you find colleagues or match you with fellow alumni as part of a wildcard team. You don’t need a ready-made squad to get involved.
Why would my company say yes to this?
Office Showdown is more than just a tournament – it’s a unique team-building and culture tool. It connects departments, encourages collaboration and supports mental wellbeing through play. We’ve had great feedback from employers who see real value in staff engagement and visibility, especially from graduate hires. Our recent pilot tournament prooved this.
Who should I speak to inside my company to make this happen?
Start with your graduate programme leader, line manager, or someone in your HR or People Team. They’re often looking for fun, team-driven initiatives – especially ones that help new hires settle in. We’re happy to help get things moving.
I’m interested but not sure how to pitch it internally – can you help?
Absolutely. Whether you need help shaping a proposal or want to loop us into a call or email with your team, we’re here to support. Just drop us a message at [email protected] and we’ll help you get it across the line.
FROM CAMPUS CLASHES TO WORKPLACE WINS.
From fresh grads and jobseekers to alumni working in tech, finance, gaming, government, and everything in between. Whether you’re solo, part of a startup, or in a global HQ — there’s a place for you here.
