World Gaming Day 2022

Let's get together to play games and change lives!

World Gaming Day is an upgraded coffee morning. You don’t have to be into gaming to get involved, it’s all about getting people together to have fun, play games (think Mario Kart, Fortnite, Nintendo Switch Sports) and make a donation to Epilepsy Society. Every penny you raise will help us to transform the lives of people living with epilepsy through world-leading research, advocacy and care.

Sounds easy, right? To get started all you need to do is register online! We'll provide you with a fundraising pack and everything you need to organise your own World Gaming Day event. 

However you plan to support World Gaming Day please remember to always game safe and do not take any unnecessary risks. Here are our seven tips for safer gaming. 

1. If you have epilepsy (in particular, photosensitive epilepsy), be aware of your triggers and play close attention to seizure and content warnings given on games.
2. Sit at least 2ft away from the screen
3. Play games in a well lit area
4. Dim your screen’s brightness
5. Do not play games if you feel extremely tired
6. Remember to take regular breaks and stop playing if you feel unwell
7. Make sure you’re not on your own when you’re playing games
