This summer, we are thrilled to host Extra Life North in Winnipeg – a new in-person celebration for our gaming community. This event will bring gamers from across Canada and the US to connect, play, and support a great cause!

All proceeds from Extra Life North will be donated to the Children’s Hospital Foundation of Manitoba.

Who Can Attend:

Extra Life North is open to the gaming community. Whether you’re an Extra Lifer, spouse/friend/family/network of an Extra Lifer, or just have a passion for gaming, you are welcome to join us!

We are also able to include responsible teens 13+ who require minimal supervision, when accompanied by a parent or guardian. We ask that adults please use their best judgement – there will be a few breaks in gaming to hear from the team at the Children’s Hospital Foundation of Manitoba and our Champion Children (which may not be interesting to all younger folks), and our board game library is on loan (adult guardians are responsible for any damages).

What to Expect:

• Casual gaming is available during the event
• Board games (board game library courtesy of the amazing folks at GameKnight)
• Video games (we’ll have some TVs and monitors with game consoles, plus feel free to bring your own gaming devices)
• Pinball machine (courtesy of our partners at Phantom Amusement – all of the loonies collected during the event will be donated to the Children’s Hospital Foundation of Manitoba!)
• Dance Dance Revolution
• Optional tournaments with a small entry fee for charity (both competitive and casual tournaments available)
• Gaming challenges

Prizes to be won throughout the event, including a door prize and more!
