BPAC FAQs

The BPAC showcase takes place around the middle of the year and attracts competitive gamers from around the globe. The event takes place over 5 days and includes Australia’s most prestigious pinball competition, Brisbane Masters, as well the Australian Kong Off and Arcade Championships! The BPAC showcase grows larger every year, covering more and more facets of gaming!

BPAC is always chasing volunteers across all levels. If you have a particular skill (or games) you feel would benefit us, then reach out via gday@bnepac.org You can also pin down any of our BPAC volunteers at the event for a chat!

Anyone who purchases an All Access Pass, donates games, or volunteers their time will receive a bag full of extra goodies from our sponsors.
