Comic Con Africa is taking place next weekend, and Doritos is bringing the boldest crunch experience yet! Offering both a casual VR tournament, as well as a king-of-the-hill style fighting game tournament, fans and gamers of all experience levels can stand a chance to win their share of R4000 every day.
Whether you’re a seasoned pro, or simply looking to try something new, Doritos is making sure there’s something for everyone.
The BOLDEST VR Competition
Following the success of Comic Con Cape Town’s Doritos Crunch Cup VR League, this fully immersive experience – that literally places you in the game – is coming to Comic Con Africa for the first time with the popular rhythm game Beat Saber.
Take on the challenge of slashing through blocks and dodging obstacles, all while having your gameplay broadcast live on giant screens. Whether you’re playing or watching, the Doritos VR League promises excitement at every turn.
There is no need to pre-register, fans can simply head to the Doritos Crunch Zone in Hall 5 of Comic Con Africa and scan a QR code to register to play. The fan with the highest score at the end of the session will see themselves walking away with R1000.
The Doritos Crunch Cup VR League welcomes casual and competitive fans to partake everyday between 9:00 and 11:00, as well as from13:00 to 15:00.
“We loved seeing the virtual reality come to life in Cape Town. With it being such an engaging experience, the Crunch Zone is going to stand out as a highlight to the Comic Con Africa show floor again” said Comic Con Africa Show Director, Carla Massmann. “We saw fans of all ages and experience levels take part and leave with big smiles on their faces. It’s exciting to see a brand like Doritos provide gaming experiences that cater to all fans while making gaming accessible to everyone.”
“Doritos has become a stable of the Comic Con Africa offering, and we are beyond excited for this iteration with the Crunch Zone being a gaming arena with a multi-level level offering, which makes such a bold statement on the show floor” Massmann added.
The Flamin’ Hot Moments Worth Fighting For
For the competitive gamers, the all-new Crunch Clash brings a king-of-the-hill-style tournament to Street Fighter 6 and Tekken 8. One by one, players will make their way to the stage in the Crunch Zone (Hall 5) to face off against each other for a chance to build a Flamin’ Hot Streak – the longer you stay on top, the better your chances of walking away with the win.
The Crunch Clash will begin with two players – the winner stays in their seat to build up a “Flamin’ Hot Streak”, while the loser makes way for a new contender.
At the end of the session, the fan with the highest Flamin’ Hot Streak will be crowned the session’s Crunch Clash winner and walkaway with a R1 000 cash prize. The daily Crunch Clash Tekken 8 session will take place between 11:00 and 13:00, while the daily Street Fighter 6 session will take place between 15:00 to 17:00.
Ntumi Kondile, Doritos Brand Manager, commented on the brand’s continued partnership:
“Doritos is excited to partner with Comic Con Africa once again, as it perfectly embodies our bold and fearless spirit. This year, we’ve prepared exciting activations in our Crunch Zone, and we invite gamers and enthusiasts to immerse themselves in the experience for a chance to win amazing prizes. We look forward to seeing how fans unlock their boldness at this year’s event.”
