Whataburger said “Breakfast in Bedwars” will take place on a daytime map, focusing on early morning coffee runs and breakfast foods to “jump-start the day.”

Throughout gameplay, the tournament will feature iconic Whataburger characters and restaurant items. Players will try to defend their beds while simultaneously launching attacks on their opponents’ bases.

The press release said those interested in playing should post their best clips playing the new Whataburger “Breakfast in Bedwars” map on the social platform “X” and tag #BreakfastInBedwars.

The players with the top 16 submissions will then be invited to be tournament captains and bring two teammates to play in the exclusive single-elimination qualifier.

The top four teams will play in the tournament final to compete alongside popular Fortnite creators for a share of the $25,000 prize pool.
