This Thursday October 11, IGN is teaming up with Ukie (The Association For UK Interactive Entertainment) to host a very special fund-raising event as part of the London Games Festival at Walkabout in Temple, London. We're hoping to raise as money as we possibly can for the incredible charity SpecialEffect and we need your help.
On Thursday night we're hosting an IGN Pub Quiz but unfortunately all the quiz team places have now been filled. However once the quiz ends at around 9:00pm, we're opening up the event to the general public where you'll be able to enter a raffle to win amazing prizes, bid for limited edition merch in a charity auction, take part in gaming challenges and party down to the incredible sounds of GamerDisco!
Some of the sponsors who have donated swag so far include:
- Professor Layton And The Miracle Mask
- Nintendo 3DS XL
- XCOM Enemy Unknown
- Turtle Beach
- Insert Coin Clothing
- Tecmo Koei
- Rocksteady Studios
- Titan Books
- Mediatonic
- Rockstar Games
- Fable: The Journey
- Ubisoft
Please come and join us at the Walkabout in Temple (nearest Tube station is Temple, map here) from 9:00pm for the chance to bag some cool swag whilst raising money for an amazing cause in the process.
Entry will just cost you a suggested donation of £2 to SpecialEffect which will automatically enter you into the raffle for some cool gaming prizes.
If you have any further questions about Thursday night's event, hit us up on Twitter @IGNUK or send an email to IGNUKFeedback@IGN.com.
We look forward to seeing you on Thursday night.
SpecialEffect is the only specialist UK-based charity dedicated to helping ALL people with disabilities enjoy video games – from injured soldiers to young disabled people who can’t play any other way, whether they are in a hospital, hospice, rehabilitation centre or at home. Their team not only provides games access assessments and loans but they’re also changing the way the whole WORLD plays through collaboration with developers and acclaimed online information service – the ‘GameBase’.
Their rapidly expanding reputation has meant an ever-growing demand for their services including loaning cutting edge control technology such as gaze-controlled computers, worth several thousands of pounds. For more info on SpecialEffect visit their website.
