FAQs

What exactly is a LAN Party?

A LAN Party is an event where gamers of all types - PC, Xbox, Wii, Playstation - get together to eat some Doritos, drink some Mtn Dew and play some games. It's an awesome opportunity to get to know other people in the program and hang out outside of school hours.

I'm not a big gamer, is this still for me?

YES. We will have more leisure games set up for anyone who is not a hardcore gamer. Mario Kart and other casual games will be available. Board games are also welcome. This is a social event, not a hardcore event. A set of people will be just hanging out to talk with and meet.

Do I have to show up for the whole time?

No, you may come and go as you please, however you will be required to show your ticket. Some people prefer to stay quite late, and others only hang around for a few hours. The venue and event will be open as late as people want to keep playing!

Do I have to show up right at 5pm?

No, you may come and go as you please. 5-7 pm will be a board-game only period for people who like to play board games and to give time for everyone to get setup. You may show up whenever fits your schedule. Some people prefer to stay late while others hang around for a few hours only. The event will be open for as late as people want to keep playing.

Where should I park?

The event is on the third floor of Old Main. The easiest way to unload equipment is to drive to the parking lot north of Old Main (Lot A3) and use the elevator to unload. Parking here is free and permitted on weekends.

Who is this open to?

Everyone, not just TRUSU Computing Science Club Members or TRU students. Bring your friends!

Can I bring game X or gaming system Y?

Absolutely! We will have designated games so that everyone can play together on the same game if they'd like, but you're more than welcome to bring anything you want. Alternatives, such as board games and Wii games, will be available.
