Cowman Gaming Co.

Based in Rockhampton, Cowman Gaming Co is rapidly becoming one of Australia’s most exciting community gaming initiatives. Starting with just a few consoles and a big dream, we’ve grown into a movement that brings together hundreds of people at our free fortnightly gaming events, and have just hosted Rocky's first eSports tournament, where we crowned the CQ Street Fighter Champion in front of 250 attendees.

Our mission is to create safe, inclusive spaces where people of all ages and abilities can connect through gaming, build friendships, and chase their dreams. From consoles to content, we’re using gaming as a platform for social connection, mental health awareness, and regional opportunity.
