Narrow One Community: Discord, Tournaments & Narrow News

The heart of Narrow One outside the game is the official Pelican Party Discord (~18,000 members), where the developers hang out, take feedback and vote on features. Around it orbits a real competitive scene: community-run CTF tournaments and 1v1 Gold Cups with highlight reels on the Narrow One Esports channel, speedrun leaderboards on speedrun.com, and a monthly community show called Narrow News. Here's every official entrance, verified and current.

The Official Discord

Invite: discord.com/invite/pelican-party

The Pelican Party Discord is where the game actually gets made, socially speaking — the two developers (Jesper & Jurgen) chat with players, announce updates first, and run feature votes. Around 18,000 members are registered, with several hundred online at any time. It's also the hub for finding squad mates, reporting bugs and cheaters, and hearing about tournaments before anyone else. If you play more than a week, join it.

Tournaments: the Competitive Scene

Narrow One has a grassroots esports scene that has run continuously since 2022:

• 1v1 Gold Cup — an annual individual bracket; the 2025 edition ran a full Round of 64 with published highlight reels.
• Team CTF tournaments — themed squads (Aztecs vs Samurai, Barbarians vs Aztecs) compete in single-elimination brackets.
• Community cups — hosted on bracket platforms like Challonge (e.g., the Autumn Tournament); sign-ups usually open in the Discord.
• Summer brackets — 2026 summer tournament sign-ups were being discussed on the official itch.io comments, so the scene stays active year over year.

Speedruns and Leaderboards

Narrow One has an active speedrun community on speedrun.com/NarrowOne, where players time map clears and flag runs — the Arena map's short route is a favorite category. Watching top runs is genuinely the fastest way to learn movement tech; many poosting and boost techniques in the weapons guide originated in this community.

Narrow News: the Monthly Community Show

Narrow News is a monthly community-produced YouTube show recapping everything that happened in Narrow One — updates, drama, tournament results and ranked-server news (episode 9 covered June 2025, including the ranked server Discord link). If you want the pulse of the game between patch notes, it's the show to follow, alongside the official Pelican Party channel for trailers and the Narrow One Esports channel for tournament highlights.

Community Wiki and Forums

The community-maintained wiki (the "Archery Narrow One Wiki" on Fandom) is the game's living encyclopedia — it's where much of this wiki's data originates, published under CC-BY-SA. The itch.io comment section on the official game page functions as a long-running forum (34,000+ comments) where veterans trade stories and the developers occasionally reply. Between Discord, the wiki, and the comment threads, every skill level finds its corner.

How to Get Involved

• Join the Discord first — tournaments, squads and news all funnel through it.
• Watch tournament VODs to see high-level CTF play before entering.
• Submit runs to speedrun.com if movement tech is your thing.
• Contribute to the community wiki — new maps and weapons need documenting after every update.
