Future-tech video gaming comedy show WiFi Wars returns to the Ri for another fun development night where they test out their newest toys and technology.

Join Steve McNeil and Rob Sedgebeer (All Hail King Rob) as they connect an entire room of gamers to play as teams, or individuals against each other, on their latest gaming creations. Will there be bugs? Maybe. Will it be fun? Definitely.

Don't forget to bring a charged phone or tablet with you to the event. It's easy to join in and you don't have to download anything new to play along. The team are also on hand to help you if you need it.

Let's see who can top the leader board at our next WiFi Wars!

Timing

The doors will open at approximately 6.45pm, with a prompt start at 7.00pm. 

About Wifi Wars

Steve McNeil and Rob Sedgebeer have come together to produce WiFi Wars, combining Steve's comedic and creative ideas with Rob's knowledge and aptitude with coding and designing games. They most recently featured in our 2022 CHRISTMAS LECTURES with Dame Sue Black, but first appeared at the Ri back in 2014. Since then they've performed shows at the Ri that have been so successful that even a Guinness World Record was broken (most people playing a single game of pong - we broke the previous record by 35 people!).

They return to the Ri for a special show to bring you comedy, computer science, technology and interaction so you can be a part of the development of new games and mass innovation.
