Jump straight to your sport — pick one to enter the field with the right ball, crowd, and CPU opponent already waiting.
The Campus Quad is the flagship immersive experience of The Academic Boardroom community. Explore a fully interactive 3D quad in your browser — no download, no plugin — with WASD keyboard navigation, drag-to-look camera, and an on-screen touch joystick for mobile visitors. Ten routed hotspots connect the quad to the Studio, Lounge, Boardroom, Merch shop, and other community rooms.
The open-air Sports Arena hosts three fully playable games in a single physics world powered by Rapier 3D: Basketball (click to shoot), Soccer (click to kick), and 7-on-7 Football with role switching between Quarterback (QB), Wide Receiver (WR), Running Back (RB), and Defensive Back (DB). AI opponents scale across four difficulty tiers — Easy, Basic, Difficult, and Hall of Fame. A live spectator crowd of instanced NPCs cheers from the bleachers; a courtside broadcast camera lets visitors switch to a low-angle sideline shot at any time.
A lightweight WebSocket presence hub renders peer visitors as ghost avatars with team-coloured jerseys and floating nametags. Toggle Match Invite to let peer visitors' kicks influence your ball for head-to-head play. Referee NPCs react to every goal; four corner floodlights keep the arena playable at night. Dynamic time-of-day cycles the whole campus through day, twilight, and night, and a bell-toll audio track sets the hour.
