WHAT IS FUZZ BLITZ LOUNGE?
Our vision is to fuse the world’s greatest game with social connection, music, and club energy.
We always bring a DJ into the room, setting the vibe while our traditional blitz tournament runs side by side. Between games, you can get into the dance floor — or just come for the music and socialize.
Yes, it’s a tournament.
But it’s just as much a social experience.
Show up for a drink. Stay for the atmosphere. Come solo or bring your crew.
Everyone is welcome.
Spectators enter for free and are a natural part of the experience.
FUZZ BLITZ LOUNGE is designed for both beginners and experienced players. You’ll face opponents at your level, with no requirement for tournament experience.
Good music, good drinks, youre welcome to have good conversations — and a tournament that lives in the room.
THE FINAL SHOW
When the tournament ends, the two top players will be facing each other for one last game.
They will be playing a symbolic final on the big 3D-printed board — right in the middle of the room.
Players have to move the pieces themselves, walking from side to side as the game unfolds.
It becomes less of a formal match, and more of a final show for everyone in the room.
There will also be a small extra prize for the winner — just for fun.
The tournament is played individually, and everyone competes in the same event.
However, prizes are awarded in multiple categories, so you don’t need to win the entire tournament to win something.
We award prizes to:
TOP 2
Overall winners of the tournament
BEST CHALLENGER

This means:

Couples have an extra prize to play for, without changing how the tournament is played
