The beloved Texas fast-food chain announced earlier this week a new Whataburger-themed Fortnite map and tournament that went live on Monday.

Fortnite, a popular online video game where players or teams build and battle it out to be the last ones standing, has a feature which allows creators to build their own custom maps. One such map type is the “Bedwars” game where players are tasked with defending a bed while also attacking opposing bases. The team with the last bed standing wins. 

Whataburger collaborated with efuse, erena, Click Media Group and McGarrah Jessee to create a Whataburger-themed “Bedwars” map, according to a news release. 

Whataburger enthusiasts may notice some of their favorite items featured in the new map, like the Honey Butter Chicken Biscuit, spicy ketchup, breakfast burgers and more. 

Alongside the map launch, Whataburger also announced a “Breakfast in Bedwars” tournament. 

From July 8 through July 15, anyone ages 13 and up can submit their entries to participate in the tournament by posting their best clips playing the new map on X, formerly Twitter, with the tag #BreakfastInBedwars.

The top 16 submissions will then be invited to play–alongside two teammates of their choice–in a qualifier on July 17. The top four teams from there will advance to the main event on July 22 to compete against “popular Fortnite creators for a share of the $25,000 prize pool,” the release said. 

The event will be hosted and streamed on Twitch.tv/erena.
