Get ready to dodge, dash, and blast energy balls in the ultimate augmented reality showdown. HADO takes gaming off the couch and into an arena where players become heroes. This fast-paced, futuristic sport combines physical activity with esports, offering pure action, strategy, and fun.
Each player wears a head-mounted display and armband sensor, battling in teams over 80-second rounds. Whether competing or cheering, participants will experience a next-level game that is as thrilling as it is addictive.
This event is ideal for children aged 6 and above, providing a unique blend of physical sport and technology that encourages movement, teamwork, and excitement.
Sessions last 30 minutes, with multiple time slots available throughout the day including mornings, afternoons, and Thursday evenings. The event runs over three weeks in January 2026, culminating in a tournament day.
Participants must be at least 6 years old and wear enclosed footwear. The arena uses flashing and strobe lighting, so those with photosensitivity epilepsy should take caution.
Rules include no running, physical contact, or offensive language, ensuring a safe and fair environment. Parents or guardians must stay with children under 12 during sessions.
The event takes place at Parramatta Town Hall, located at 182 Church Street, Parramatta, 2150. The venue is accessible and situated in the heart of Parramatta, making it easy to reach by public transport or car.
Please arrive 10 minutes before your session for registration. The arena is shared among guests, so booking a session does not guarantee exclusive use.
To participate, attendees must be sober and wear appropriate footwear (no thongs, sandals, or high heels). The use of AR gear requires physical movement but no complex controls, making it accessible to all skill levels.
The event acknowledges the traditional custodians of the land, the Burramattagal of the Dharug nation, respecting their heritage and culture.
Safety is paramount, with clear guidelines to ensure a fun and inclusive experience for all players and spectators.
Tickets are priced at $10 per session. Booking is essential due to limited spots and multiple sessions.
