Kinguin Opens Its Gdańsk Esports Lounge for Children's Day

02 June 2026

On Children's Day, Kinguin opens its Kinguin Esports Lounge to children from Tricity care centers for a free day of gaming, contests, and fun.

On June 1, Kinguin hosted children invited from care and educational facilities across the Tricity at its Kinguin Esports Lounge for Children's Day.
The kids had free run of the venue: gaming PCs, PS5 and Nintendo Switch 2 consoles, simracing rigs, board games, catering, contests with prizes, and photos with the Kinguin mascot.
The day reflected Kinguin's ongoing community and esports involvement in the Tricity.

Kinguin, one of the world's largest digital marketplaces offering games, software, gift cards, and a wide range of digital products, opened its Kinguin Esports Lounge to children invited from care and educational facilities across the Tricity for Children's Day on June 1. For one day, the venue belonged to the kids, with every activity, console, and meal provided free of charge.

A Natural Fit: Esports Roots Meet Community Spirit

The Kinguin Esports Lounge at Galeria Metropolia is the only gaming venue of its kind in the Tricity, built as a home for the local gaming community. Kinguin's history in esports runs long and is well documented, and turning that home over to children who do not often get a day like this is a natural extension of it. Rather than a one-off gesture, the event used the company's own space and equipment to give local kids a full day of play in a setting most of them have never had access to.

A Full Day of Play

The kids had the entire lounge at their disposal. The PCs were loaded with 126 games, with another 56 board games on hand for groups who wanted to play together. Simracing stations offered more than a dozen racing titles, and the PS5 and Nintendo Switch 2 consoles added a dozen-plus more. Catering kept everyone fed with nuggets, fries, and a choice of drinks. Throughout the day there were contests with prizes, and a Kinguin mascot on site for posed photos the kids could take home.

We built the Kinguin Esports Lounge as a home for our community, and there's no better way to use it than this. Every kid deserves a day where the only thing that matters is having fun, and on Children's Day we wanted these kids to feel like the place was theirs. Gdańsk is where we chose to put down roots, and being part of this community means showing up for it. We'll keep doing that.
