Meet HADO: The Game That Turns Your Phone Into a Super‑Powered Dodgeball Gym
If you thought esports meant sitting on a throne of blinking LEDs and screaming at a keyboard, think again. HADO is proof that competitive gaming can be a full‑body workout, and it does so while keeping the entertainment level high.
What’s the game all about?
Picture Halo meets Tron in a sweaty, street‑style dance‑fight. Teams of players—each armed with just a smartphone glued to their face—run across a small court and blast sparkling virtual fireballs at one another. The objective? Shoot your opponents and avoid being hit before the 80‑second match ends. HADO’s twist? Players can generate virtual shields, turning the game into a tactical showcase of timing and strategy.
- Quick 80‑second rounds that keep the adrenaline alive.
- Virtual shields add a layer of strategy that goes beyond pure shooting.
- High‑intensity interval training style—cardio, coordination, and a dash of competitive fire.
Why is Sport Singapore all in?
Because a sweaty, competitive game that’s also a charity event is the kind of modern play that drags people into the health‑and‑wellness conversation. As part of the GetActive! Singapore campaign, the HADO CSR Challenge 2019 will pit corporate teams against each other, all for a good cause.
Get ready to lace up, hold that phone, and dodge, shoot, and shield your way to a new level of fun. And who knows? You might just find yourself shaking a lot more than your head‑but‑not‑hands.
Corporate Esports Tournament Fights for a Cause
Sure—it’s not going to be the billion‑dollar spectacle of The International, but that’s okay. In this year’s corporate esports extravaganza, every team of three to four players will drop a hefty $2,000 into the prize pot and pick a charity to champion.
How the Money Gets Used
At the finish line, the top four squads will have every cent of that pot earmarked for the organization they chose, plus a generous donation to the One Team Singapore Fund. That last gift supports our local athletes in training up to the big day.
Noob‑Friendly Training
Novice players don’t have to sweat it. HADO Singapore’s coaches will prep your team before the main event, which falls on the afternoon of August 8 at Kallang Wave Mall. Think of it as a practice session for real life—or at least for your video‑game glory.
