Welcome to Buttino Re(Creation) Lab!
Some people play games. We obsess over why some become legendary while others are forgotten by next Tuesday.
This community is for anyone who loves designing tournaments, leagues, game nights, fundraisers, recreational sports, and social experiences that people can't wait to attend again.
Everything here comes from real-world experimentation. We've successfully designed and run 75-player laser tag events, recreational card game leagues, ping pong tournaments, cornhole tournaments, Connect 4 competitions, recreational sports leagues, Monopoly tournaments, game-themed fundraisers, and countless other events!
Inside the Lab, we explore tournament design, league formats, event psychology, game mechanics, participant engagement, and recreation systems that keep people coming back.
Steal our ideas. Share your own. Run experiments. Build experiences people can't stop talking about!
