What Is Odyssey?
Co-owner and founder, Landon Frank, saw a need for esports & gaming in Indiana.
Therefore, Odyssey Esports, named after the console, was created. It seeks to continue the work of the console in making Fort Wayne a hub for Esports in the Midwest.
For the past three years, the Odyssey Game Lounge has been the home of a weekly Super Smash Bros Ultimate tournament, Claim the Crown, hosted by Odyssey Esports. Similarly, the venue has been home to a Super Smash Bros Melee weekly tournament for two years.

Fort Wayne's Video Game Legacy
Fort Wayne is the home of the very first home gaming console, the Magnavox Odyssey
Fort Wayne, Indiana, holds a unique place in video game history as the birthplace of the Magnavox Odyssey, the world’s first home video game console.
Released in 1972 and developed by Ralph Baer, the Odyssey marked the dawn of a new era in interactive entertainment. The console was manufactured at a Magnavox plant in Fort Wayne, making the city a foundational landmark in the history of home gaming.
Today, this legacy lives on through The Odyssey Esports, an organization named in honor of the console that started it all.
