“The goal is for everyone, parents and children, to have a good time, with or watching video games,” begins Martine Joly, Mayor of Bar-le-Duc. This geek culture day, organized by the respective city and conglomerate Meuse Grand Sud, marks a major comeback for this fourth edition, after two years of absence. In order to reunite with the public, here is the program:
Three championships
The participating teams will face each other in competitions around the games of Rocket League, Mario Kart 8 and the FIFA Championship. Please note that registrations are necessary!
Free entry play area
Retrogaming seduces again and again. Arcade machines will be part of the game, an opportunity for parents to show their children that they are not the only ones to skillfully manipulate the consoles … A virtual reality discovery area will also be introduced using helmets, just like many dance simulators to wake the slumbering Michael Jackson in you. Board games like Monopoly, for example, will also be available.
disguise
Cosplay (a combination of the terms “costume” and “theatrical”) is a hobby that consists of dressing up as an anime (mostly manga!) or video game character, by imitating her dress style, hairstyle, makeup… Participants, if they wish, They are invited to wear the colors of their favorite protagonist.
awareness stands
“We want the participants to be able to talk about the dangers of video games but also about the precautions to be taken. They have integrated French culture perfectly, and there is something to demonize because there are not only distractions. It is like sports, there are good and bad sides! Therefore, we have to establish a common dialogue between generations.”
In short, on game day you will be able to play and talk. Entry is free, and a health passport is required for over 12 years old. At your controls, gear up…Go!
