Welcome to the DŌ-DUCK-ATHON (pronounced dough-duck-athon) — a high-energy, totally free, team-based arcade adventure where strategy meets friendly chaos and bragging rights are very much on the line.

Teams will battle it out across classic and modern arcade games, earning points, solving challenges, and keeping their ducks very much in a row as they race toward victory. This isn’t just button-mashing—it’s about quick thinking, collaboration, and a little competitive flair. Expect laughs, surprises, and plenty of moments where teamwork makes (or breaks) the flock.

Think fast. Play hard. Stick together.
Only one team will rise above the rest and take home the coveted trophy for the year—may the best flock prevail.

Created by Jay Zandell and Ben Long, the DŌ-DUCK-ATHON is proudly hosted at Dave & Buster’s locations across the USA, made possible by our incredible sponsors who support and celebrate the environmental and geo-science community. These events bring professionals together in a fun, unexpected way—because building community should be just as exciting as it is meaningful.

Game on. Ducks up. Let the DŌ-DUCK-ATHON begin.
