Ready Player One? Hartwall Original brings old-school gaming tournament to NQ64 Liverpool

  • January 18, 2023
  • Editor

Fancy yourself as Liverpool’s top gamer? You’re about to get the opportunity to prove yourself as a Hartwall Original® Long Drink and NQ64 partner for a series of gaming tournaments.

Starting on 25th January, ‘gin in a tin’ AKA Original® Long Drink and retro arcade game & classic console venue NQ64 will be bringing the people of Liverpool a monthly competition, which will kick off with the iconic Mario Kart, a favourite amongst gamers.

Entry to the competition is free and includes Hartwall Original® Long Drink, pizza per person, and the chance to be crowned the winner of Mario Kart. And if competitors fancy bringing their favourite Player two, multibuy offers will be available on Original® Long Drink throughout the night.

Players will be competing for medal positions, with 1st place prizes including tokens to use at NQ64 Manchester, a bucket of Original® Long Drink and a mystery goody bag. 

Original® Long Drink – or gin in a tin as it’s more commonly known – is made of Finnish artisan gin, with handpicked natural ingredients, and was originally made for the Helsinki Olympics way back in 1952 to make it easier for bartenders to serve thirsty tourists. Refreshment guaranteed, the OG flavour is gin and grapefruit soda but there’s also orange or cranberry to choose from. You’ll probably recognise them by their infamous stripy cans – the packaging that hasn’t changed since 1952. How much more retro can you get?

It’s time to get your 80’s on and enter the hottest competition in Liverpool, to sign up drop NQ64 a DM on Instagram (NQ64’s Instagram).

The event is first come, first served – so be quick if you want to get involved?Onnea! (That’s good luck in Finnish) And may the best Mario Kart player win!The first competition night will be held on 25th January, at 6pm and will run monthly until March!
