PWR Box Fights

fadingages 10-13 · 14-17

What it is

PWR Box Fights is a custom Fortnite map made by the Australian esports organisation PWR, where players duel inside a small enclosed box. It is one of the most popular community-made practice modes for competitive Fortnite.

What they actually see

Two to four players spawn in a tight walled arena with preset weapons and materials and fight until one is left, then the round instantly resets, sometimes dozens of times in a session. The action is the standard Fortnite look: cartoon characters, no blood, eliminated players simply vanish into a burst of light.

In this one

  • Competitive
  • User-made content
  • Cartoon violence
  • Long sessions

Why kids love it

It skips all the looting and waiting so kids get straight to the fight, over and over, and improvement is fast and obvious.

Worth knowing

The rapid reset loop makes it very easy to lose track of time, since there's no natural end point like a finished battle royale match.

One way in

Box fights look intense. Do you have a warm-up routine before you play with your friends?
