ArchWizard Powers Racing Fun at Canberra Emergency Awareness Day 2025
On 25 July 2025, ArchWizard partnered with Canberra Community Centre for the annual Canberra Emergency Awareness Day, transforming the community space into a hub of speed, competition, and family fun. Designed to appeal to both children and adults, the event showcased how gaming can bridge generations while delivering an unforgettable, interactive experience.
A Triple Racing Setup for All Ages
To ensure inclusivity and maximum participation, ArchWizard prepared three immersive racing stations with PlayStation 5 Gran Turismo 7 and its custom racing simulation software and hardware:
One PlaySeat for kids, carefully fine-tuned with adjusted hardware so younger participants could enjoy a safe yet thrilling ride.
One PlaySeat for adults, equipped with advanced simulator features for parents and older players seeking a greater challenge.
One additional setup for community use, ensuring smooth traffic flow and minimizing waiting times for racers of all ages.
This thoughtful arrangement allowed everyone — from first-time gamers to experienced racing fans — to enjoy the thrill of virtual motorsports side by side.
Gran Turismo 7: The Centerpiece of the Event
The star of the day was Gran Turismo 7, one of the most realistic and celebrated racing simulators available on PlayStation 5. ArchWizard enhanced the experience by providing:
Professional-grade racing hardware installation on site.
Fine-tuning and adjustments to accommodate both kids and adults.
On-the-spot guidance to help participants get the most out of each race.
This combination of technical expertise and hands-on support ensured smooth gameplay, realistic immersion, and maximum fun for all participants.
Community Spirit in Action
From the start, the event was filled with energy and excitement. Children lined up enthusiastically for their turns on the PlaySeats, laughing and cheering each other on as they navigated virtual circuits. Parents joined in the fun, often competing in friendly races that quickly became crowd favorites. The combination of children’s and adult stations created a lively dynamic where families bonded over shared challenges and celebrated one another’s victories.
ArchWizard staff remained on hand throughout the day, assisting with gameplay mechanics, guiding participants, and keeping the racing stations running smoothly. Their presence ensured newcomers felt welcome while seasoned gamers could push their skills to the limit.
Beyond Gaming: Building Connections
What made the day truly special was not just the racing itself, but the atmosphere of community and connection. Families had the rare opportunity to step away from daily routines and immerse themselves in a shared activity that balanced fun, learning, and healthy competition. The event highlighted how gaming can go beyond entertainment to become a tool for education, coordination, and intergenerational bonding.
Looking Ahead
The Canberra Emergency Awareness Day 2025 stands as a strong example of how collaborations between local organizations and gaming specialists like ArchWizard can enrich community experiences. By combining cutting-edge technology with thoughtful planning, the event delivered joy, excitement, and lasting memories for all who attended.
ArchWizard looks forward to continuing its mission of bringing immersive, interactive events to communities across Singapore and beyond — ensuring that gaming is not only about play but also about connection, learning, and shared moments of joy.
