UPDATE: By popular demand, we have added a second timeslot!

In this Parent + Kid Minecraft event, you will team up and play side by side, navigating custom battle maps designed by Nate (a kid at Recess!)

Each session includes a 3-battle tournament across maps inspired by Remagen, Corregidor, and Elsenborn Ridge, where teams compete to capture objectives and win.

Players take on roles such as:

Rifleman
Medic
Engineer
Commander

Each role has a clear purpose, so teamwork, communication, and strategy matter.
