In celebration of the long-awaited finale of the Emmy-winning animated series Arcane, Riot Games Philippines is partnering with Rumble Royale Stronghold in Quezon City to bring Jinx’s Safehouse to life. A nearly month-long capstone on-ground event, Jinx’s Safehouse promises series fans and players of Riot Games titles a fun and immersive experience every weekend from November 9 to 24.
Based on the popular multiplayer online battle arena game League of Legends (LOL), Arcane is an animated series developed and produced by Riot Games in partnership with Fortiche Productions in 2009. The story follows the origins of two iconic League champions, Vi and Jinx, set in the utopian region of Piltover and the oppressed underground of Zaun.
The second and final season of Arcane premieres this November on Netflix in three acts. In time for the series finale, Riot Games Philippines has taken over and transformed Rumble Royale Stronghold into Jinx’s Safehouse, a rendition of the popular hideout of one of the lead characters, Jinx, in the animated series. The venue will host weekly events and activities such as mini-games, exhibitions, show matches, cosplay competitions, watch parties for Arcane S2, and more.
Jinx’s Safehouse promises immersive booths that integrate Arcane into popular modes from each of Riot Games’ titles. The League of Legends booth will feature ARAM at Arcane’s Bridge of Progress, while Wild Rift will have an Arcane-themed 1v1 Play Lounge. Teamfight Tactics will give audiences chances to “Replay the Plot,” and VALORANT will bring to life the upcoming Arcane Bundle.
Jinx’s Safehouse will be open to the public on select dates from November 9 to 24, from 11:00 AM to 9:00 PM. However, a ticketing system will be implemented for Saturday activities to ensure the safety of all guests, while the venue will be open to everyone on Sundays.
The scheduled weekend activities at Jinx’s Safehouse will follow the three acts of the series, giving guests more chances to win Arcane prizes. On November 9, the event will officially open with the League of Legends Cosplay Competition Finals, an ARAM Showmatch featuring local League influencers, and a watch party for Arcane Season 2 Act I. On November 10, guests may join Arcane Unleashed Act I—a live recap of the first three episodes with special guests.
On November 16, fans can look forward to a meet and greet with Wild Rift influencers and even get the chance to challenge former Wild Rift pros to a 1v1. The Arcane Season 2 Act II Premiere watch party will also take place on this day, while Arcane Unleashed for Act II is scheduled for the following day, November 17.
The final weekend activities 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 a watch party for the Arcane Season 2 finale. 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.
Jinx’s Safehouse is in partnership with global apparel retail brand UNIQLO Philippines, which will showcase the upcoming ARCANE LEAGUE OF LEGENDS UT, a graphic T-shirt collection bringing iconic characters from Arcaneand their unmistakable style to life. Guests will be able to preview the collection in the Safehouse ahead of its launch in all UNIQLO stores and on UNIQLO.com/ph beginning November 11. Lucky guests will have a chance to get their hands on these T-shirts through various venue activities.
Additionally, the Arcane Season 2 watch parties will be sponsored by world-famous pizza restaurant chain Pizza Hut, providing free pizzas for guests and offering flash sales on all three days of watch parties. Acer will also be powering an Arcane experience play area where players can explore upcoming Arcane cosmetics in League of Legends, Teamfight Tactics, VALORANT, and Wild Rift.
For those outside Metro Manila, Riot Games Philippines will team up with PC cafes outside the metro to host regional Arcane S2 Finale Watch Parties. The locations of these regional events will be announced soon.
“The finale of Arcane is an important moment for us at Riot Games. It is a moment we want to share with as many people as possible, to keep delivering positive experiences to Pinoy gamers. That’s why we are bringing Jinx’s Safehouse to life. The event welcomes LOL, TFT, WR, and VALORANT players as a way to express our appreciation for their passion and unwavering support for Riot Games titles,” said Joel Guzman, Country Manager of Riot Games Philippines.
“Truly a global phenomenon, Arcane’s finale is a moment that brings us together to create memorable experiences with fans and serves as an opportunity to deepen the connection between the show and the games, making them even more fun and meaningful to play,” he added.
