There will also be a video game tournament throughout the day. The CPA lobby will be converted into an arcade, and students can play old retro video games throughout the event.

The PGCC jazz faculty ensemble will perform jazz covers of classic video game tunes throughout the event in the CPA lobby. Free lunch and dinner will also be provided for those who register.
