GymGamEnt Shines at Elba Comics + Players 2025

The video game that turns kids into heroes wins over audiences and critics alike

Portoferraio, April 28, 2025 – GymGamEnt achieved great success at the 2025 edition of Elba Comics Plus Players, the festival dedicated to comics, games, and pop culture. Throughout the event, hundreds of young participants enjoyed a unique experience made possible by GymGamEnt’s proprietary technology, which, through Computer Vision and Augmented Virtuality, allows players to step directly into the video game—facing motor paths, sports

challenges, and group activities.

"We’re thrilled by the warm welcome received at Elba Comics Plus Players," said Riccardo Cangini, creator of GymGamEnt. "Our heartfelt thanks go to organizers Stefano Picchi and Stefano Muti for believing in the project. Seeing the children’s smiles and the families’ enthusiasm confirms that we are achieving our mission: promoting physical activity, healthy play, and enhancing each player’s personal identity."

Following Cinedù and Lucca Comics & Games, Elba hosted the third Gymga Live Cup, drawing large crowds and strong player participation. The awards went to:

• Simone as Gymga Best Player (Kidz)

• Dafne and Nicole as Gymga Best Team (Kidz)

• Cosmin and Jacopo as Gymga Best Team (Teenz)

  
  

The honors were presented by world champion Andrea "Lucky" Lucchetta and Riccardo Cangini, creating an emotional and unforgettable moment for all participants.

The GymGamEnt project now continues its journey through fairs, schools, and sports centers across Italy.
