IDDQD Arena is a slaughter map, created by Paul Corfiatis and released in December 2019. The setting is an indoor stadium with the player, a cyberdemon, and a spiderdemon surrounded by nearly 28 thousand (on Ultra-Violence difficulty) lesser enemies as hostile spectators. It uses a custom MIDI song by Paul, whose title is "Mixed Organ Themes."

It requires a Boom-compatible source port to play. In the release post, Corfiatis indicated that this is a lampoon of slaughter maps, a genre that he is not a fan of. As soon as the player performs an attack (even if it is merely punching in the air), the sheer amount of enemies activating simultaneously will slow just about any gaming PC to a crawl, as confirmed by responses to the post.
