What do people do during their downtime at work? Use their phones, mostly. But employees of the Kansas City Royals had a different activity in mind: hooking up a Nintendo Switch to the jumbotron at Kauffman Stadium to get in a few games of Mario Kart 8 Deluxe.

Funnily enough, the activity was caught by a news helicopter getting some footage for an upcoming game.

Turns out, the gaming was for a good cause: the employees had been competing in a tournament to support Royals Charities, the team’s foundation.
