01 · The opportunity

Gaming is where the young audience actually lives.

With 3.2 billion gamers worldwide, gaming has become the central social and cultural hub for young people — merging entertainment, competition and community. The young male segment in particular doesn't watch traditional TV and is unreceptive to classical advertising. To reach them, you have to be inside the thing they care about.

3.2B

Gamers worldwide

The largest entertainment category in the world — bigger than film and music combined.

#1

Youth culture hub

Gaming is where Danish youth socialise, compete and spend their attention every day.

Full-funnel platform

Not just awareness: engagement, lead generation, store traffic and conversion in one format.

02 · The concept

Four games.
Four weeks.
One champion.

W is an open competition for all gamers, big and small. No entry fee, no qualification barrier — anyone in Denmark can join. The games are picked so most people can jump straight in, and every game is about best time or highest score.

The best players across all four games qualify for a live finale with physical activities at Copenhagen Gaming Week — Denmark's biggest gaming festival.

OPENFor every gamer in Denmark — casual to hardcore
4 × 4Four different games over four weeks — one new game revealed each week
SCOREEvery game is best time or highest score — simple to understand, endlessly replayable
LIVEOne national leaderboard connects every run in the country in real time
FINALThe best across all four games meet at a live LAN finale at Copenhagen Gaming Week
03 · How it works

Sign up. Play. Climb. Win.

01

Sign up

Free, and it takes about 30 seconds. No hardware requirements, no entry fee — open to every gamer in the country.

02

Play the week’s game

One new title every week for four weeks. Every game is about best time or highest score, in games most people can pick up easily.

03

Climb the leaderboard

Every run feeds one national leaderboard. Beat your friends, your city, your age group — as many attempts as you want.

04

Win & redeem

Playing earns GamePoints, redeemable for real rewards — products, discounts, vouchers. The best across all four games qualify for the live finale.

Powered by GamePoints. The software behind W collects real-time data from the games and converts play into points. Points are redeemable for real rewards — physical products, discount codes, vouchers — in any online or physical partner store. That's the engine that turns tournament engagement into measurable commercial action.

08 · Beyond Denmark

Built in Denmark. Designed to travel.

The format is country-agnostic: "W — [Country]'s Best Gamer". The same structure — open online qualifiers, weekly game rotations, one leaderboard, a live LAN finale — adapts to any market and any major gaming event, and scales up or down with ambition, participants and partners. The brand system stays locked; every season and every market reskins around the partners who join.
