🎮 Platform : Trials Fusion on Xbox One
Context
For its second (but first truly large-scale) edition, the Carolo Game Show, a pop culture and gaming convention in northeastern France, invited the Trials.fr community to run an official Trials Fusion booth.
Over 1,000 attendees visited across the two days, and the Trials stand stayed constantly active, drawing gamers of all ages.
Summary
The booth was managed entirely by volunteer members of Trials.fr, and offered:
Playable Trials Fusion demo stations
Time trial challenges
A 4-player local tournament
A track editor workshop
Showcases of community-made tracks (from Bloddae, Kronenb, Chaaampy, Gunners…)
Despite no official hardware support from Ubisoft, the team brought all the required gear themselves, ensuring full autonomy.
Activities
Live demonstrations of user-generated tracks
Time attack races on both classic and custom tracks
Public tournament with small prizes
Intro to the track editor for newcomers
Distribution of flyers, business cards, posters
Prizes
Custom Trials goodies (stickers, shirts)
Trials game copies donated by Ubisoft
Printed certificates for tournament winners
Promotional cards for Trials.fr
Atmosphere & Feedback
Visitors also enjoyed cosplay, music acts (notably a Smash Hit Combo metal concert), and panels from guests like Globtopus and Antistar
The booth was often so crowded it ran in self-managed mode
Overall, a warm and vibrant event, with many meaningful encounters and positive feedback
