to a username.
It all starts with playing online.
The next chapter happens together.
Arcolan is a gathering built around video games, born from a wish to bring together the people who already spend their evenings on Discord. A weekend to meet, talk and grow friendships beyond the screen.

01 / Our beginnings
Behind the usernames,
real people.
In 2024, we had a simple wish: to meet the people we spent so much time playing and chatting with on Discord, in real life.
We knew their voices, their gaming habits and their sense of humour. What was missing was meeting face to face and talking around the same table. That wish became Arcolan.
We created our own LAN party — a gathering where everyone brings their computer to play together in the same place. Before long, the games became the starting point for something bigger: conversations, shared memories and friendships that last well beyond the weekend.
“Gaming brought us together online.
Arcolan brings us together in real life.”Team Arcolan
02 / More than a game
Miles travelled.
Friendships brought closer.
Some participants travel from Brussels to join us in Millam. That journey captures the spirit of Arcolan: being together matters just as much as the joy of playing.
We compete in a tournament, share a meal and chat between games. Whether beginners or experienced players, we come together around a shared passion in a private, friendly setting.
A growing community
From 15 players
to 30 registered.
With each edition, more people want to join us. Our ambition stays the same: to keep the warmth of those first gatherings and make room for everyone.
