Kingsley's Customerpalooza

Kingsley's Customerpalooza is a spin-off game in the Papa Louie series used by Flipline Studios to host tournaments to select fanmade characters to appear in new Papa Louie games; the game was hosted for the first time in 2013.  Kingsley's Customerpalooza is hosted once a year (with the exception of 2021), and each KCP tournament ends with one lucky fan having their fanmade customer added to the ever-expanding cast of characters in the Papa Louie universe.
==Gameplay==
Kingsley's Customerpalooza takes course over three parts.  The first part is the submission process, which typically begins towards the end of the year.  Once it begins, anyone who wants to participate has six days to access the game and use the Create section to create and name their very own Papa Louie character.  This section gives you the option to customize all sorts of attributes on your characters, including skin tone, hair color, facial structure, height, weight, and clothing.  Once you're done creating a character, you have the option to submit the character to the tournament, allowing others to vote on your character.
After the six days are over and the submission phase ends, the voting process begins, which also lasts for six days.  In this phase, you can access the game's Vote secrion to vote on other people's characters; the 32 characters that got the highest amount of votes by the end of the six days are added to the actual tournament.
Once the voting process is over, Flipline Studios then begins posting polls on their blog, allowing fans to cast their votes on the 32 characters that made it into the tournament.  These polls are held over the course of one month, with characters gradually being eliminated over time until the one remaining character is declared the winner at the end of the month.
Tournaments begin with four divisions, each one having eight of the 32 characters.  Each division is held over three rounds, with the two characters with the lowest votes being eliminated at the end of each round.  This ends with eight characters after the division rounds are over; these eight characters get to move on to the Semi-Finals.  At the end of the Semi-Finals, four characters are eliminated, leaving the rest to advance to the Final Four.  After that, two more characters are eliminated, leaving the two remaining characters to proceed to the Grand Final.  Whichever character wins the Grand Final wins the tournament and gets to appear in all future Papa Louie games.

==Trivia==
*As of KCP 2018, fans have the option to submit characters to the tournament using Papa Louie Pals (an app for mobile devices released in 2018 which lets you create characters and make comics with them) instead of KCP itself.
*Flipline Studios also hosts an annual event called Papa's Next Chefs (PNC) which is used by fans to help decide which two Papa Louie characters will become the main characters of the next upcoming Gameria; unlike KCP, though, PNC isn't an actual game; PNC deals with already existing Papa Louie characters, so it only consists of the blog post poll voting process seen during the final phase of KCP.
