The Easy Allies Hall of Greats is a quarterly Group Stream Night event in which the Allies vote for the games they deem worthy of being called One of the Greats. These are chosen in a heated debate in which each Ally brings forth a game they believe is a great one, and they have five minutes to present their case to the rest of the Allies, who will then ask the presenter a variety of questions about their game for another five minutes. After every game has been presented, they vote for the games they think should enter the Hall of Greats.
On December 14, 2021, Easy Allies held the first Hall of Shame induction.
