November is a loaded month for anticipated new movies and shows. That includes the long-awaited and highly anticipated release of Arcane season 2. After three years, we finally have the continuation of Vi and Jinx’s story, with Act 1 dropping last November 9 on Netflix.
Set after the events of season 1’s finale, which (spoilers ahead) saw Jinx attack the Council, we find our heroes and villains coming to terms with what to do as Piltover and Zaun inch closer to war. The hype is real, and if you’re ready to get back into Arcane for the next episodes, Riot Games Philippines has got you covered. To celebrate the new season, they’ve brought Jinx’s Safehouse to life for an interactive experience you don’t want to miss.
WELCOME TO THE SAFEHOUSE
This November, Riot Games Philippines partnered with Rumble Royale Stronghold in Quezon City as they took over and transformed the compound into Jinx’s Safehouse, a rendition of Jinx’s popular hideout in the animated series. A near month-long capstone on-ground event, Jinx’s Safehouse opened its doors last November 9 and runs until November 24 when the final three episodes of season 2 drops.
Needless to say, if you want to make the most out of the Arcane hype, as well as get into all things Riot Games, Jinx’s Safehouse is the place to be as it will be home to weekly events and activities, mini-games, exhibitions, show matches, giveaways, cosplay competitions, watch parties for Arcane S2, and fun and immersive experiences every weekend of November.
ACTIVITIES OF THE WEEK
The main draw of Jinx’s Safehouse, aside from how Riot Games Philippines gave the venue a Jinx-approved makeover, is the scheduled weekend events. The activities follow the three acts of the series.
Following a cosplay competition and ARAM Showmatch on weekend one, weekend two continues the fun with a meet and greet with Wild Rift influencers and even the chance to challenge former Wild Rift pros to a 1v1 on November 16. The Arcane Season 2 Act II Premiere watch party will also take place on this day, while Arcane Unleashed, the official post-episode recap show for Arcane featuring Filipino commentators and other special guests, for Act II is slated the following day, November 17.
The final weekend activities slated on November 23 will feature Riot’s other titles, Teamfight Tactics and VALORANT, as they host their own show matches and Arcane showcases in addition to the Arcane Season 2 finale watch party. Capping off the nearly month-long event is a wrap-up of the second season and final act with Arcane Unleashed – Act III scheduled on November 24. Oh, and did we mention that attendees at the watch parties will be served Pizza Hut? Come for Arcane, and stay for the free pizza.
A SAFE(HOUSE) FOR ARCANE FANS
If you thought that things couldn’t get any better at the Safehouse, think again. Aside from the weekly activities, the venue is also filled with immersive booths that integrate Arcane into popular modes from each of Riot Games’ game titles. Among the in-house activities you can try is The League of Legends booth that features ARAM at Arcane’s Bridge of Progress, one from Wild Rift that has an Arcane-themed 1v1 Play Lounge, Teamfight Tactics giving audiences chances to “Replay the Plot”, and VALORANT breathing life into the upcoming Arcane Bundle.
Acer is also powering an Arcane experience play area where players can experience upcoming Arcane cosmetics in League of Legends, Teamfight Tactics, VALORANT, and Wild Rift. And there’s more where that came from. As a bonus, guests can also get a peek into UNIQLO Philippines’s partnership with Arcane for their ARCANE LEAGUE OF LEGENDS UT t-shirt collection thanks to the UNIQLO booth by the viewing floor.
Jinx’s Safehouse is located at Rumble Royale Stronghold, 33 Xavierville Loyola Heights, Quezon City, and runs until November 24. You can get more details on Arcane Season 2 here.
