Some experiments
A ticket to the top
Discover 3 different sports circuits and try to take each of these youths to the top!
Go up against various situations and try to make the best choices. You’ll discover that the road to becoming a champion is often fraught with pitfalls.
The imagination station
Today, our favourite fictions bring new sports to life. Quidditch is a perfect example of this. So, are you ready to face the Vifs d’Alsace or Q.C. Lorrain?
Go head to head and try to score as many points by clicking on the playing field buttons as fast as possible.
Boost your score by catching the golden snitch or throw off your opponent by using the bludger. Who will win the game?
The cyber café
Are video games a sport? All the ingredients of a sport are there, and yet, e-sports are still subject to debate!
Try to answer this question while diving into the pro gaming universe. Complete as many correct actions in one minute: press a button, then another, move the mouse, click...
On average, a pro gamer makes between 180 and 280 actions per minute. Can you do better?
Inclusive pétanque
Are there any sports that bring together both able-bodied and disabled individuals?
There are! Boccia is a sport similar to pétanque in which able-bodied individuals and individuals with all types of disability work together to win.
Try it out by playing on a reduced-size playing field.
