If the winner lives within 150 km, they will receive 150$ to cover driving expenses.

PS5The winning dad will get to play the most recent games on state-of-the-art gaming tech—the incredible PS5 and PSVR2. When it’s time for a well-deserved break between gaming sessions, dad will be able to create premium coffee using the latest appliances, and enjoy a relaxing evening to unwind after intense gaming sessions with percussion massagers from Hyperice.

  1. This contest is now closed. We will draw the winners soon in accordance with the rules. Return to the blog often to read great articles, learn about the latest technology, and to enter more contests. You never know when we’ll be doing another amazing giveaway!

  2. Love the contest idea up to the last part. A real Dad does game, but not competitively. That commitment of time is for his kids which is what makes him a real Dad. Having the Dads compete to win, is to create a contest for worst Dads actually. You should have left the Competition part out in my opinion. Father’s Day is one of the least celebrated holidays and yet a Dad must still compete? You wouldn’t do this for Mother’s Day. ( and no, you shouldn’t make Mom’s compete either, they do do much already, like doing more for competition Gaming Dads who should be parenting and doing their share around the house)
    I game after all of my fatherly and household duties are done but not before. I know this sounds like a fun contest, but it misses the real point of being a Dad.
    Great contest idea for Dad’s, but unlike the eventual winner, it misses the target. Cheers!

  3. I nominated Michael Keindel ( 2 kids) by making 2 sidewalk chalk murals. Mike is a mechanical engineer that now drives kids from 3 Alberta towns to French Immersion! He works as a wish-granter and fundraising volunteer for Make-A-Wish nab for over 29 years. He participates in Community Theater. As a dad he was a Ukrainian Dance dad, Drama Dad, Ballet dad, Band dad. He used his holidays for chaperoning Band trips & dance competitions.
