Frequently asked questions
Preregistration
-
Well, if you want to secure your spot in this one of a kind event you need to preregister. That way you’ll be the first to know when the official signup page is up and running. When you’re preregistered you’ll get an email from us a few days prior, to remind you that it’s about to start. (And honestly, you don’t wanna miss it) You’ll also be able to access the first tier of squad tickets. Tier one will only be available for pre-registered members.
-
Nope, pre-registrations are only meant to make sure you’re notified when it’s time to sign up.
-
An unlimited amount. To give everyone a fair shot we haven’t set any limitations.
-
Yes you can. There will be an event location with lots of stuff to do and a lot of opportunities to cheer on anyone you want. The whole event is also streamed through our website.
The Game
-
Only 750 squads or 3000 people will be able to participate, so you’ll have to be quick about it as spots are limited. Are you pre-registered yet?
-
25 squads or 100 players will play at the same time. Each equipped with gear.
-
Well, because we don’t want to encourage violence to minors, you’ll have to be 18 and up to participate. Over 80 years old? No problem, there will be a medical available just in case.
-
Our location still remains secret and will be announced soon. We can already tell you that it will be somewhere near Brussels. Expect a forest, open areas, shelters, … Don’t worry. We will provide shuttles for the people traveling with public transportation.
-
We’ve scheduled play time for over 5 days. The first 3 days will be all about preliminary rounds with 3000 players. There will be a total of 10 games each day, each game lasting for about +/- 50 minutes. The 5 best squads will be qualified for the semi-finals on day 4. On this day, the remaining 600 players will battle for a place in the finals. Day 5 is played with the last 25 squads. They’ll play 4 full games.
-
Battle royale games involve dozens to hundreds of players, who start with minimal equipment. They have to eliminate all other players while avoiding being trapped outside of the constant shrinking of the arena. The winner is the last player/team standing.
General Gameplay
-
Every squad will be placed randomly on the field, in a starting shed. You will each have a laser gun, with a smartphone attached to it. Instructions will be found on the official RLBR app that will be installed on the phone. You’ll start with basic equipment and you will need to find utility boxes to upgrade your gear.
-
In order to not die a slow death, you’ll need to stay inside the eye of the storm. This applies to all squads, so eventually you’ll have to cross paths. If you’re caught by the storm, you will gradually lose health. Scan those utility boxes and hope for some health/shield pickups!
-
Not to brag, but we’ll provide the best laser tag technology in the world. Unfortunately, we can’t share any details yet, since we’re upgrading our equipment. Be sure to follow us on social media for some behind the scenes demos.
-
To upgrade your gear, you need to scan utility boxes that you can easily find on the map on your display. When scanning a utility box, you can unpack special guns, health, shield, loot and special stuff (more info about that later)
-
On the app, you’ll find everything you need to enjoy the game:
– Your and your team members location, names, health
– Your weapon, obviously
– Loot
– Remaining squads
– The storm, and timer when it’s time to close in
– Game time
– Number of kills (or deaths in pre-rounds)
– Compass
-
You can swap guns by tapping the weapon selection button in the RLBR app. Each weapon preset includes unique properties like range, damage, clip size, reload speed, and rate of fire. If all this confuses you, don’t worry about it. Well before the start of our tournament, we’ll provide you with some tutorial videos.
-
We’re a big fan of adding some pretty random things to our game. We don’t want to spoil anything, but what we càn tell you is that 4 default weapons types will be available: The Battle Rifle, SMG, shotgun and a sniper rifle. All other weapon types are still secret.
-
Unfortunately that’s not possible. Our legal department was not happy with this proposal.
Hey but you can pretend to jump?
Preliminaries
-
Preliminaries or preliminary-rounds are the qualification rounds for the semi-finals.
-
Nope, our main focus is for our players to have fun. That’s why you have unlimited respawns in the preliminary-rounds. So a full hour of gameplay is guaranteed.
-
1 hour. Squads will have 1 hour of exclusive gameplay.
-
Winning squads are based on how well they play of course. We look at the total amount of kills, minus the amount of deaths per squad. Since every squad will have an unlimited amount respawns in the preliminary rounds, we won’t play with official Battle Royale rules for these rounds. Of 25 squads each round, 5 will quality for the semi-finals.
Semi-finals
-
Nope, we want you to show us what you’re made of. Respawns won’t be available during the semi-finals. You can only use medkits to regain health.
-
By making sure you’re one of the last 3 out of 25 squads standing per game. When all squad members are down to 0 HP, the full squad is considered eliminated.
-
In the semi-finals, you can earn golden coins that will allow some eliminated squads, to still qualify for the finals. We have 6 golden coins available like originality, fair play, teamwork, … We’ll update you about this soon.
Finals
-
On the final day, we play a best out of 4 games with the remaining 25 squads. The 3 best teams will instantly qualify for next year’s finals.
-
Aside from direct access to next year’s finals and online glory, there will be a cash prize. Your entire squad will also get their own high-tech laser equipment to play wherever they want.
Squads
-
You need to have a total of 4 people in your squad, believe us, you will need every help you can get.
-
We encourage every squad to find a squad sponsor to get their subscription money refunded. Squad sponsors pay € 300/squad and their logo will be printed on the front and back of their outfit. Once a squad sponsor paid for his squad, we will refund subscription member money to their bank account.
-
There needs to be a clear distinction between every squad. That means you’ll need to be dressed in the same style/color/costume. Everyone in a scubasuit? Sure! Fortnite skins or stormtrooper costumes? Bring it! Spiderman spandex? At your own risk!
-
You can choose your own unique squad name after you subscribe. Now it’s up to you to create some buzz on social media. You’ll need some fans to support you while they’re watching the livestream! (Did you know the audience will be able to vote for delivery drones while you’re playing?)
-
Yes they can. Every player will be equipped with a bodycam that is linked to a unique livestream sorted per squad. Spectators can choose to follow you, and will be notified when you’re about to play. They can also view your statistics, so you better play well, Morty.
Event & Tickets
-
You don’t need to play to be a part of Real Life Battle Royale. Every game will be livestreamed online and you will be able to watch whatever squad or player you want to watch. Creepy, right? Spectators will also be able to impact the game through a voting process.
-
Every squad member pays €75 to access our event. With this, you’ll have a minimum of 1 hour of gameplay, food and drink tokens, access to the live semi-finals and finals, a goodie bag with a lot of gaming discounts, eternal online glory and your full gameplay recorded.
Note: Get your squad member subscription money back by finding a squad sponsor.
-
Tier 1 tickets are only available for people who preregistered.
-
Maybe, this depends on the tickets that remain from tier 1. Remember that we only have 750 full squad tickets available.
