Aboot

Aboot Play is dedicated to the people, events and groups that are actively engaging Canadians in all manners of play. We define play as including (but not limited to) video games, urban games, ARGs, LARPs and table top gaming, as well as anything else that may qualify. We all come from different backgrounds, but we all love to play. Let good times unite us all!

If you're living in Canada and you'd like to contribute to Aboot Play or if you have a tip you'd like to pass along, please get in touch with us. If you enjoy the site, please tell your friends.

He conceived Aboot Play as a means turning his addictions around and using them to help others find fun in Canada. He can often be found on his couch with a PS3 controller in his hands, flanked by his two cats on both sides. Send him a message on PSN and STEAM, usernames are both Ry-Tron. Tweet me here.

Nadine Lessio is an artist and designer from Toronto Canada. She has a thing for glitchy music, traveling, and tiny wireless devices. When not making GUIs, or websites she keeps herself busy with a set of paint brushes and an array of games for her DS. She has a general wish that everyday commuting was more like Mario Kart.
