Running since 2014, GameBlast is the UK’s biggest annual charity gaming marathon weekend in aid of SpecialEffect. It’s the perfect way to help change the lives of disabled gamers and have a blast at the same time.
GameBlast is the UKs biggest annual charity gaming marathon weekend in aid of The Gamer’s Charity SpecialEffect. Your GameBlast donations will enable SpecialEffect to help gamers with disabilities by finding out what they want to play, and exactly what they need to play it. Everyone’s abilities are different so well match, modify or create custom gaming setups, and give lifelong support so they can continue to get the best out of it.
From modified gaming controllers to eye-control systems, every system we provide is personalised. Sometimes that might mean adding voice control or a chin joystick. Or we might get the drill and soldering iron out to adapt the button positions on a regular controller. There are hundreds of potential solutions, and its our job to find the right one.
How to get involved?
It’s simple. Just organise your own gaming event sometime during the weekend of 26th -28th February.
What you do for your GameBlast live stream is your call! You can take part as an individual, a group of friends, a community or a company*. Many of you will take on a gaming marathon, but if speed runs, or table top games, or virtual pub quizzes are your thing, then welcome aboard! The Gameblast21 website (link below) will help you with information and resources every step of the way.
