The second you hit<strong> <a href=\"https:\/\/fourwaysmall.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Level 8 at Fourways Mall<\/a><\/strong>, you\u2019ll hear it \u2014 the buzz, the hype, the chaos \u2014 and you\u2019ll know exactly where to go. Just follow the noise to the Monster zone, where people are chilling with ice-cold cans, catching big moments, and soaking up the vibe together.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For Monster, rAge Expo isn\u2019t just an event \u2014 it\u2019s a hangout. It\u2019s your cue to roll in as you are, whether you\u2019re a hardcore grinder, a casual button-smasher, an F1 superfan, a combat-sports addict, or just curious and ready to feel that live-event electricity. It\u2019s all about showing up, plugging in, and owning the moment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full is-resized\"><img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"800\" height=\"533\" src=\"https:\/\/everyonegaming.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/Monster-at-rAge-Expo-2.jpg\" alt=\"Monster\" class=\"wp-image-8085\" style=\"width:1162px;height:auto\" srcset=\"https:\/\/everyonegaming.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/Monster-at-rAge-Expo-2.jpg 800w, https:\/\/everyonegaming.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/Monster-at-rAge-Expo-2-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/everyonegaming.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/Monster-at-rAge-Expo-2-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/everyonegaming.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/Monster-at-rAge-Expo-2-750x500.jpg 750w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">What to expect at the Monster Zone<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>At the heart of the setup are three dome tents. One is pumping ice-cold sampling from the Monster Bar, the other two a hub for fun and games. There\u2019s a photo booth to capture the chaos, sweet tunes rolling all day, and space to catch your breath before throwing yourself back in. Of course, everything is free to try.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>MMA<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>The MMA machine stole the show last year \u2014 and it\u2019s back, louder and meaner. Step up, throw your combos, land that kick, watch your score pop up, and decide if you\u2019re here to play\u2026 or dominate.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Monster is aiming to have <strong>UFC champion Dricus du Plessis<\/strong> drop his own score if timing works out. That means you might see a world-class striker hit the same machine you just did \u2014 maybe even stand in the same spot.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Celebrity or not, this challenge turns total strangers into instant rivals. One minute you\u2019re standing in line with people you\u2019ve never met, and the next you\u2019re all locked into the same friendly battle. Scores pop up, someone lands a big hit, and suddenly the whole crowd is cheering, teasing, and egging each other on. It becomes this fun, noisy little community where everyone wants to see who can climb the board next \u2014 and nobody wants to be the one who gets outscored.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Racing Rigs \/ Simulators<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Over at the racing rigs, three simulators will be running all weekend, including one dedicated to McLaren\u2019s Lando Norris. That\u2019s where the Hot Laps Challenge lives, where you race for time, top the leaderboard, and come back later to see if someone stole your spot.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If you\u2019re still top when prizes drop, you score Monster merch and bragging rights. What makes it better is how quickly the queue moves; everyone gets a go, and you can jump back in to shave milliseconds off your time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This is the closest you\u2019ll get to testing your reflexes against a grid full of other weekend warriors, no pit crew required.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full is-resized\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"800\" height=\"533\" src=\"https:\/\/everyonegaming.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/Monster-at-rAge-Expo-1.jpg\" alt=\"Monster\" class=\"wp-image-8084\" style=\"width:1170px;height:auto\" srcset=\"https:\/\/everyonegaming.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/Monster-at-rAge-Expo-1.jpg 800w, https:\/\/everyonegaming.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/Monster-at-rAge-Expo-1-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/everyonegaming.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/Monster-at-rAge-Expo-1-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/everyonegaming.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/Monster-at-rAge-Expo-1-750x500.jpg 750w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>The Call of Duty weekend<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>The Monster Call of Duty Invitational is locked and loaded, bringing the country\u2019s top talent together for an explosive showdown on the new Call of Duty title, Black Ops 7.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This invitational marks the first competitive look at the latest edition of<strong> Call of Duty in South Africa<\/strong>, setting the tone for a new era of local competition. The action will unfold in 4v4 format, with teams facing off across Hardpoint, Search and Destroy, and Overload in a best-of-three series that will push every squad to its limit.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Only the elite have been called up. <strong>Nixuh<\/strong>, <strong>FE4R<\/strong>, <strong>Highborn<\/strong>, and <strong>Aerial<\/strong>, four of the most dominant names in the scene, will battle for glory, bragging rights, and a R25,000 prize pool.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Monster and Mettlestate are building a Call of Duty finals stage designed for spectatorship. That means a raised deck, dual team rows, front-of-stage broadcast screen, and dedicated seating so you don\u2019t have to hover on tiptoes to follow every clutch play.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Whether you\u2019re a hardcore fan or just COD-curious, the vibe of a live final day is unreal.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Don\u2019t forget Monster\u2019s on-can promotion with Call of Duty runs through November and December.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p> Buy participating cans in-store, scan the QR code on the pack, and redeem in-game points on PlayStation, Xbox, or PC.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Where to find Monster<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>The Monster zone will be dominating the new event space on Level 8 at Fourways Mall.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Drop in between your expo missions. Grab a can. Hit the leaderboard. Stay for the finals. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"98\" src=\"https:\/\/everyonegaming.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/rAge-Expo-Sponsor-Logo-lockupp-1024x98.png\" alt=\"Monster rAge Expo\" class=\"wp-image-8087\" srcset=\"https:\/\/everyonegaming.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/rAge-Expo-Sponsor-Logo-lockupp-1024x98.png 1024w, https:\/\/everyonegaming.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/rAge-Expo-Sponsor-Logo-lockupp-300x29.png 300w, https:\/\/everyonegaming.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/rAge-Expo-Sponsor-Logo-lockupp-768x73.png 768w, https:\/\/everyonegaming.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/rAge-Expo-Sponsor-Logo-lockupp-1536x146.png 1536w, https:\/\/everyonegaming.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/rAge-Expo-Sponsor-Logo-lockupp-2048x195.png 2048w, https:\/\/everyonegaming.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/rAge-Expo-Sponsor-Logo-lockupp-750x71.png 750w, https:\/\/everyonegaming.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/rAge-Expo-Sponsor-Logo-lockupp-1140x109.png 1140w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>rAge Expo 2025 Details<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Dates:<\/strong> 5\u20137 December 2025<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Venue:<\/strong> Fourways Mall, Level 8<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Website:<\/strong> <a href=\"http:\/\/www.rageexpo.co.za\" target=\"_blank\" data-type=\"link\" data-id=\"www.rageexpo.co.za\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">www.rageexpo.co.za<\/a><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Buy Tickets:<\/strong> <a href=\"https:\/\/rageexpo.howler.co.za\/rAgeExpo25\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">rageexpo.howler.co.za\/rAgeExpo25<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Monster Energy is pulling up to rAge with one mission: turn your weekend into a full-on highlight reel.
