UPDATED (8/24/22): We are pleased to announce that Global Finals 2023 will take place May 20-23 in Kansas City, Missouri.
Global Finals is the culminating tournament for each season of Destination Imagination’s Challenge Experience, with the top teams from around the world competing in their respective Team Challenges.

REGISTRATION FEE
The Global Finals 2023 registration fee is $5,500 USD for US teams and $5,000 USD for teams outside the US. The deposit to secure your registration is $2,000 USD and will be due by April 12, 2023.
Registration opens on March 1 and closes on April 12.
CONTINGENCY PLANNING
While we are cautiously optimistic that Global Finals 2023 will get us closer to what we know as a “normal” tournament, the reality is that we need to make contingency plans in
the event that COVID and/or unforeseen circumstances create hardship for the DI
community. If there are major disruptions to the Challenge season which prevent
many teams from participating, we will transition to open registration and invite all teams to Global Finals 2023. We will be continually monitoring the situation globally and we hope to make a final call regarding this contingency plan no later than January 15, 2023.
