What is a LAN Party?
A Nerd Otaku LAN Party is an event where gamers come together to connect their computers or gaming consoles via a local area network (LAN) and participate in multiplayer gaming sessions. These are BYOD (Bring Your Own Device) events and which are open to all devices, including consoles, handheld devices, mobile phones, etc. Each LAN event has a particular theme centered around a chosen game, and these themes alternate throughout the year, adding an extra layer of excitement and variety to the gaming experience. Moreover, the LAN party internet, sponsored by Liquid Intelligent Technologies, boasts high-speed fiber connectivity with low latency, ensuring smooth and uninterrupted gameplay for all participants. These gatherings offer a unique opportunity for gamers to connect, compete, and celebrate their shared passion for gaming and nerd culture.
Our LAN Party is a bring your own device event. It will be held at Mosi-oa-Tunya Shopping & Recreation on June 1st, from 08:30 through 19:45. There are limited spots so please reserve and pay for your ticket ASAP to ensure you are able to attend.
