Parents and guardians are welcome to stop by during the event. Get in touch with the crew at the entrance and we will help you in for a short visit.

We also encourage parents to follow the information in advance, and stay updated on our website.

It will be possible to buy food and drinks in the hall throughout the LAN, if you have not already purchased this via your ticket. We have a varied selection of both hot and cold food, snacks and drinks.

You are allowed to bring your own food, but there is no access to a refrigerator or cooking facilities. There will be a station where you have the opportunity to heat food in the microwave and kettle.

Remember: Enough water = better gaming. Feel free to bring a water bottle to refill along the way!

We recommend that you pack smart! Bring what you need to game, sleep, and have a good time for three days.

You can find a detailed packing list here: See packing list

It will be possible for accommodation on site, in designated rooms. These will be staffed at all times. For sleeping places, we operate on a first-come, first-served basis, where the first 200 tickets will have the opportunity to reserve a unique and permanent sleeping place at the exhibition center in the waterpark. X number of places will be available for drop-in, in other rooms connected to the hall.

There will be a separate wardrobe arrangement in one of the rooms attached to the hall, where you can store your sleeping bags at all times.

Sleeping bag, sleeping mat and sleeping mask/earplugs are recommended!

For those who wish to stay at a hotel, our next-door neighbor, Scandic Hotel Bystranda, offers a discounted rate on accommodation. This can be booked here (link), and the discount code is XXXX.

Drop-off and pick-up is in Østre Strandgate, right next to Scandic Bystranda. Follow the signs and instructions from our parking attendants.

We ask everyone to stay within the marked areas and show consideration so that it is safe and efficient for all participants and parents.
