PolyLAN Zürich is back at CHN with another weekend full of non-stop gaming! It will take place over the easter-weekend from April 7th to April 10th. You can get your ticket in our shop.
More information can be found here and make sure to join our discord!

Just like last year we offer clanrooms. These private rooms offer 15 comfort seats and their own projector. More information can be found here.

After a break of over two years, GECo plans to offer another weekend full of gaming, caffeine and sleep deprivation on April 15th to the 18th! Join the PolyLAN to compete in fun tournaments or just to casually play something with your friends and/or other participants you'll meet there. Everyone is welcome!

We’re looking forward to a great comeback of the PolyLAN after such a long time.

If you wanna be part of organizing this and future PolyLANs, you can join the team of GECo. Help us after such a long time to make ETH and UZH game again!

For the PolyLAN we need students...

To keep you entertained througout these times, we re-structured or mostly offline board- and video-gaming events to work online. We came up with the following ideas:

• Finding people to play video games with
• A big minecraft server
• Virtual Board Gaming (as a replacement for the Board Game Days)

For that, we created a new Discord server. It should serve as a platform to find gaming buddies, ask questions or make recommendations if you have more ideas how we could keep you entertained. Just join the server and find like-minded people to...

Due to the ongoing COVID-19 outbreak, we have to cancel all our events for this semester.

It is only two weeks till we will enter the vault and start a glorious weekend of gaming at this year’s PolyLAN! We can not wait to welcome you all, but we need some time prepare everything for you. That is why we will close the ticketing process on Sunday, the 14th of April at 23:59! That means you will not be able to buy your ticket after that date!
