If you have questions that aren’t addressed here feel free to reach out to im-exec@mit.edu and we will get in touch with you as soon as possible.

The Esports room is open during the following hours from the months of September – May.

Monday: 6pm – 10pm

During the Summer the Esports room is Closed for maintenance.

Only current undergraduate and graduate students can reserve time in the Esports room.  We hope to open reservations up for all other DAPER members sometime in the future.

We will have some advertised intramural Esport tournaments that will be free for everyone to join.  However students will also have the ability to reserve the room for themselves if they would like to play video games with their friends on a 130 inch screen.

The cost for students is $5 / hour.  We are trying our best to keep the cost as low as possible while also retaining some finances from each use to replace equipment as needed.

We currently have three systems in our Esports room…

• Playstation 5
  • Madden
  • NBA2k24
  • FIFA 23
  • Fall Guys
  • Rocket League

• Nintendo Switch
  • Mario Kart 8
  • Mario Party Superstars
  • Super Smash Brothers

• Classic Standing Arcade
  • 300+ Games including classics like
    • Centipede
    • Space Invaders
    • Tetris
    • The Lion King
    • Star Wars
    • Astroids
    • Pong
    • And More!

You can reserve your Esports room time either in the app or from a laptop. To purchase a $5 hourly reservation in the app:

1. Download and login to the Mobile MIT Recreation app (Android or Apple).
2. From the landing page, select “Reservations” under “What Are You Looking For?”
3. Click the “Select Department” space and select “Facility”.
4. Click “Advanced Options” and “All Rooms”
5. Click “Esports” so the gray check on the right turns red.  Click “Done” in the top right corner.  Lastly click “Apply” in the top right corner.
6. Proceed and find the time slot that works best for you! If you do not see any time slots on a given day, either the Esports Room is fully booked or Closed that day.

Once you have your time reserved you can stop by the W35-297 (Second Floor Administrative Offices of the Z-Cetner) front desk 5 minutes before your session starts in order to get the key.

Please leave and lock the door to the Esports room when your time is up.  If you fail to return the key then your group will be charged $100 for each day the key is missing.

If you have any questions don’t hesitate to reach out to im-exec@mit.edu

Unfortunately not, you will have to play the games that we currently have in the Esports room.  You will also not have access to the PS5 or Switch hardware besides the controllers.

Unfortunately not, we are trying our best to keep this space as clean as possible please do not bring in food or drinks of any kind.

• Turn off the systems being used with the controllers.
• Turn off the projector with it’s remote.
• Make sure the standing classic arcade is turned off.
• Wipe down the controllers with the sanitation wipes.
• Plug all controllers back into their charging stations.
