What's it all about?

4 Hammers Forge LAN is a four-day event focused on gaming, community, and just geeking out. We’ll have tournaments, raffles, case mod competitions, and plenty of prizes. If all goes well and budget allows, we’ll have free merch, discounts, and streams across major platforms. So, even if you can’t make it, or if a loved one wants to see what’s going on, they can still watch and join in the fun remotely!

We need your help

If you're ready to help make this event happen, spread the word! Tell your friends, your enemies, your aunt—everyone! Our goal is to get 50 people on board by January 1st. If we hit that number, the event is on; if not, we'll give it another shot next year. So let's get the word out across Idaho and beyond to bring in enough people to make this a reality!

FAQ

How many people can attend?

We’re aiming for around 100 guests, depending on power capacity, though initial estimates suggest about 80 participants. We’re doing everything possible to maximize power so everyone has a great experience.

What games will be played?

We’ll have organized play times for tournaments in games like Overwatch and Starcraft 2. Perhaps a tourney in a official capacity? We would love to host an actual E-sport competition. We’re hoping for a massive Mordhau battle, and we’ll host a building contest in Minecraft or Valheim. And of course, you can play whatever you like and just hang out.

How do I get tickets?

Tickets will be available through The Downtown Event Center as we get closer to the event date.

How much are the tickets?

Since this is our first LAN event, we need to cover significant upfront costs for hardware, venue, insurance, and more. Ticket prices will likely be around $100 to $150, but with sponsorship, we’re hoping to lower that. Future LAN events should be less expensive, as we’ll be able to put more funds into prizes and other fun stuff.

lanparty What size computer/monitor can I bring?

To conserve power, each attendee is limited to one computer and one monitor. PSU wattage shouldn’t exceed 600W, and monitor size should be X (exact size TBD). Laptops are welcome! We recommend bringing your own comfortable computer chair, as the provided chairs won’t be as nice as your home setup (maybe we’ll get a sponsor for better seating in the future).

Lans of Old

Some of you might remember the good old LAN parties and the fun they brought. We’ve unearthed some relics from the past, including pics from the Boise LAN that inspired us to do one here in Eastern Idaho. We’re bringing back that nostalgic LAN magic—hope to see you there!
