What is LANWAR?
The LANWAR Experience
LANWAR is more than just an in-person gaming event—it’s a community, a competition, and a celebration of gaming culture. Founded in 1998 by four friends, LANWAR started as a small gathering of passionate gamers and has grown into one of the largest and longest-running LAN parties in North America. Whether you’re a casual gamer, a competitive player or just someone who loves the energy of a live gaming event, LANWAR offers an experience like no other.
