The Bakugan Ultimate Battle Tour will be stopping in Chicago on Saturday, September 5 and Sunday, September 6, 2009. Children who attend these free Bakugan events will be introduced to the game by expert Battle Masters, be able to practice playing it at hands-on activity stations, compete for prizes, and receive giveaways.

What are Bakugan Battle Brawlers?

To play this strategy game, players roll Bakugan balls (which stand for Bakugan figures) over metal gate cards to try to get the marbles to pop open and reveal the monsters inside so the players can "capture" the gate cards. Full and detailed Bakugan game play rules can be found at the Bakugan Web site.

Bakugan Ultimate Battle Tour events

Chicago Bakugan fans interested in participating in a free Bakugan Ultimate Battle Tour event should visit Orland Square Mall (at 288 Orland Square) in Orland Park on either September 5 or 6. Events each day will run from 11:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m.

After registering and receiving a passport, participants will enter a training arena to be trained in battle basics by a Bakugan Master Trainer. Next, they will enter the Guided Play Zone to practice competing while being offered skill tips and coaching by Battle Master Experts. Finally, they will compete in the Free Play Zone before exiting through a Tour Check Out Zone where they will be certified as Ultimate Brawlers.

Players will be supplied with Bakugan (not to keep) to use during this event. In total, the event should last between 40 and 60 minutes for each child.

Bakugan online resources

Visit the Ultimate Tour Bakugan Web Site to access resources such as biographies of the touring Bakugan Battle Masters, Bakugan training videos, and information about how to set up one's own Bakugan event (forthcoming). Fans can also join the Bakugan Battle Brawlers Community and follow the progress of the Bakugan Ultimate Battle Tour on Facebook.

Through the end of August, the Bakugan Web site is holding a Create-a-Bakugan Contest for a chance to win Bakugan prizes.
