Gamer Tips: Detentionator Dash

BE CAREFUL!!!! The Detentionator's beam can change direction and speed without notice! Be sure to play your cool and stay a good distance from the beam while moving to the next seat. Time is of the essence but you can't escape if you are already toast.

Drew Brees Meets Some Fans in the NFLRZ

Be sure to watch for more real-life NFL Players and awesome guests in the future because you never know what superstar will make their way into the NFLRZ next.

NFLRZMail Keeps You on the Ball

When you have a new message you will see a football icon near your name. Then just go to your mailbox, read your message, and choose to trash it or keep it. You'll never be out of the loop again!

Gamer Tip: Upper Deck Battle Cards

This game rocks! The latest Upper Deck game plays like a typical trading card game. If you've never played one before, getting started can be a little complicated. Take a look at the instructions and the demo (in the theater). The best thing to do is watch the video and play a few times to get the hang of it.

Meet a Gameball: Cuddles

Meet the loveable and huggable, Cuddles. This little guy is soft and smells like old bamboo. You might even say he's panda-tastic!

Drew Brees is Coming to the NFLRUSH Zone

What's better than chatting with friends on the NFLRZ? Chatting with your friends and awesome QB Drew Brees on the NFLRZ! That's right, you can meet Drew Brees, the real life QB as he roams through Saints team land. Drew will be in the NFLRZ on Thursday, July 17 at 6 PM ET. Don't miss your chance to talk to this NFL superstar.

Gamer Tips: Upper Deck Wreck Center

Tip 1: When the pace of the game quickens it can be hard to keep up with those quick-moving smaller Blitz Bots. Use the bigger Blitz Bots as blockers by focusing on taking out the smaller ones first.

Tip 2: Take careful aim the first time. When you have a Blitz Bot in sight, let the cards fly and quickly move to aim at the next target. Try throwing multiple cards at once by holding down the fire button. This way you can take out a whole line of those Blitz Bots baddies.

Meet a Gameball: Fruitsy

This gameball brings more than just vitamin C to the party. Fruitsy is a fun-loving dancing machine that has more energy than a hummingbird. Fruitsy always loves when people join her on the dance floor and is never shy about sharing a piece of fruit to pick you up. You can find Fruitsy now in the NFLRZ.
