Social PC Gaming in the Heart of Edmonton, AB

A LAN Before Time is a revival of the classic Bring-Your-Own-PC LAN party. It’s a four-day celebration of games with friends, all set in a beautiful venue just off Whyte Avenue.

Leave the solo-queue lobbies and laggy servers behind and step into a sanctuary of high bandwidth and low latency. Whether you’re a min-maxing sweat lord or just looking for some jolly co-op companionship, you’ll be joining a certifiably passionate crew of homegrown gamers.

It’s a lovely blend of competition and camaraderie, where the only thing fiercer than the mashing of keys is the pure pixelated chaos. Trust us, there’s nothing quite like the friendships that form at 2 AM over cold pizza and a scuffed session of Blur.

Come for the games. Stay for the community.

This is… A LAN BEFORE TIME!

Where Three Horns DO Play With Long Necks

Whether you’re here to grind alone, discover your next obsession, or simply find your herd——ALBT is about more than just games. It’s about the people playing them.

So come ready to play. Dive into dedicated game servers, sim racing stations, scheduled group play, and endless multiplayer shenanigans. Feeling brave? Test your mettle in our signature Sweaty Pentathlon. Just here to vibe? No stress. We are a non-competitive, casual-friendly event focused on forging friendships and enjoying games the way they were meant to be played.

You Should Not Eat Talking Trees

And unlike Littlefoot, you won’t have to worry about where your next meal is coming from. A weekend pass has you fully covered: expect home-cooked meals, unlimited snacks, and bottomless drinks to keep you fueled for four straight days of gaming without ever having to stray from the herd.
