Honeypot, a regional grassroots FGC (fighting game community) tournament series, is set to introduce its inaugural two-day event, Honeypot 6: Winter is Coming, this weekend in Davenport.

Hosted by Run it Down, an esports tournament management group, and in collaboration with Visit Quad Cities, the expanded popular esports gathering will take place Dec. 2-3 at the Putnam Museum and Science Center (in and around the Giant Screen Theater), 1717 W. 12th St., Davenport.

With nearly 350 players registered, Honeypot 6 boasts a minimum prize pool of $1,000, attracting top-tier talent and raising the stakes for intensified competition across games like Super Smash Bros. Ultimate, Nickelodeon All-Star Brawl 2, Street Fighter 6, Mortal Kombat 1, and more, according to a Tuesday event release.

This elevation signifies Honeypot’s transition into a national-level event, drawing competitors from over 20 states.
