These include timed product sampling to taste the latest and greatest flavours we have available in the country.

“The team will also be manning two activation elements on the rig: a photo booth where visitors can take a free printout memory of the event home, and our MMA machine—think you’re better than our champ, World Middleweight Champion Dricus du Plessis? Come test your skills! Plus, we’ll have our Ford Raptor on display, which is the grand prize in our current promo. It’s all about bringing the energy and excitement to rAge!”

Michael James, Senior Project Manager of rAge, adds, “rAge has always been about growing the gaming sector and creating a space where gaming, tech, and creativity collide. It’s not just about the games—it’s about community, collaboration, connecting, and inspiring the next generation of gamers, developers, and creators.”
