If you made your way to the Game Developers Conference in San Francisco in March, you couldn’t have missed it — the Skillz Victory Truck parked right outside the Moscone Center in Yerba Buena Gardens, setting the tone for what competitive mobile gaming looks like in real life.

The Skillz Victory Truck: A Mobile Esports Arena

The Skillz Victory Truck wasn’t your typical booth, it was a fully loaded, multi-screen mobile esports arena on wheels. For five days, it became the heartbeat of GDC, a place where the spirit of mobile esports came to life and the gaming community showed up, competed, and had an absolute blast.

Inside, players dove into live Skillz tournaments, battled it out on the leaderboards in real time, and competed for real money gaming prizes including Skillz bonus cash, Meta Quest 3, Apple Vision Pro, and exclusive swag.

Daily Skillz Tournaments and Prize Giveaways

We curated a packed schedule of skill-based competitions designed for both casual players and hardcore leaderboard climbers:

Skillz Trivia Showdown

Hosted twice a day, this rapid-fire quiz tested gaming knowledge in a bracket-style showdown. Winners scored Skillz bonus cash and ultimate bragging rights.

Each day, a different fan-favorite Skillz game took center stage. Players got two free entries to test their skills, compete for cash prizes, and climb the leaderboards.

• Monday: Blackout Blackjack
• Tuesday: Strike! By Bowlero
• Wednesday: Blackout Bingo
• Thursday: Yatzy Cash
• Friday: Blackout Poker

Winner Testimonial: Duncan Murch

We caught up with one of our tournament winners, Duncan Murch, who shared his experience at the Skillz Victory Truck:

“The Skillz Truck at GDC was interactive, educational and fun! The staff were all super helpful and energetic and taught me a lot about their accelerator program which I would recommend to all. I also won a Louis Vuitton speaker and $1,000 in their daily competitions!”

Thanks to Duncan and all the players who stopped by, played, and made the week one to remember.

Until Next Time…

The Skillz Victory Truck was our way of bringing competitive mobile gaming to GDC in a hands-on way. Thanks to everyone who stopped by – whether you played, competed, or just checked it out.
