Get Down and Dance! – Performing Groups Album
To drive home the explosive power of GGS, performing groups “Black Angle Crew” and “Barbie Cute” were invited to not only fire up the crowd but also get down and show off their spectacular dance moves!

▲The gift bag given out to all media during the GGS opening ceremony not only included a folder on game content and show info but also an orange-shaped scented candle.
▲The Core Blaze team’s giveaway was a box with metal reproductions of the four great weapons. These were not only quite valuable in their own right but also quite hefty to lug around as well.
▲The giveaway from the Dream Drops team was a pocket watch hidden within a hollow book. Not only did the design have a strong fairy tale influence the watch was also very detailed.
▲The Tiara Concerto team handed out medallion sets (left) and music boxes (right). The medallion set contained 3 medallions and 1 magnetic post card while the music box had a moving doll in keeping with the Tia Concerto concept.

Center of Attention – Show Girl Special
For GGS 16 show girls and 4 cosers were handpicked to welcome the media from around the world and help with the running of each pavilion. Let’s check them out!
▲The cute show girls were probably the games’ closest rival for the media’s attention on the day!
▲The show girls also helped the media deal with any problems they might have during the show.
▲Show girls in a game show must know how to hold the gamepad like a pro too!
▲The show girls’ main selling points are their sweet smiles, confident demeanor and impeccable etiquette. According to Brand Director A-bing however, the deciding factor was the figure – they had to fit into Gamania’s show girl uniform!
▲Cosers also helped to heighten the mood at GGS. The sexy Queen of Hearts and Snow White set off a flurry of camera flashes at the Dream Drops pavilion!
▲The two cosers playing their music instruments on the clouds were another highlight of the Tiara Concerto pavilion!
Party Night! – G Mania Album
When the sun went down, the G Mania! Party was held to give the hard-working staff and international media a little R&R. During the rock ‘n roll party, Gamanians and media from around the world gathered together for an international get-together that not only helped them recover from the frantic pace of the past few days but also allowed everyone to get to know each other better.
▲The exciting main pavilion wasn transformed into a party club at night.
▲A professional DJ was brought in to preside over G Mania. Apart from giving everyone the chance to shake off their day’s fatigue to fast-pounding rhythms, it also energized everyone to the max!
▲The international media had fun at G Mania.
▲The Core Blaze production team Red Gate Games also showed up at G Mania. So what is in that glass that Jacky is holding up? Something really alcoholic or just lemon juice?
▲Albert changed into casual clothing to join in the fun as well!
▲GGS finally ended as a resounding success. Great work, everyone!
