International Games Week is back, and it’s now a month long celebration of gaming in libraries.
International Games Week began as International Games Day in 2007 as an attempt to break a world record for the most people playing the same game simultaneously. It has grown into a weeklong event to showcase games and gaming in libraries.

DTC Library is participating in International Games Month by providing puzzles and takeaway games for our patrons. Also, we have side-quests! Your main objective is graduating, but what’s an adventure without side-quests? Library Side-Quests will help you find the undiscovered knowledge that can help you on your quest to graduate college. UCF and Valencia students can select a side-quest from the International Games Month, complete it, and turn it into DTC Library staff to be entered into a prize drawing. The more side-quests you complete, the better chance you have to win a prize.

Stop by the Downtown Campus Library through the month of November to participate and play some games!

Take a moment to relax before the stress of finals by playing some games; visit the Downtown Campus Library between November 7-13 for International Games Week!
