Kristiansund Gaming Group Faces Setback as Senior Participation Falters
Kristiansund, norway – 2025/11/13 – A Kristiansund gaming group encountered an unexpected challenge this week when no senior citizens attended a scheduled gaming session, leaving organizers concerned about the future of the program’s inclusivity. Despite ongoing efforts to broaden participation, the group experienced a complete absence of senior attendees, prompting a renewed commitment to outreach and accessibility.
The gaming initiative, designed to foster intergenerational connections and combat social isolation, has seen strong engagement from younger demographics. However, the lack of senior participation raises questions about potential barriers to entry, including transportation, technological familiarity, or perceived relevance of the games offered. Organizers emphasize they are not abandoning the effort, recognizing the value of including seniors in the community’s gaming activities.
“It is indeed embarrassing to lose to colleagues,” a statement from the group alluded to, referencing competitive dynamics within the broader gaming community. The group intends to analyze the reasons behind the low turnout and implement strategies to better cater to the needs and interests of senior citizens in Kristiansund.
A related article highlighted a separate community initiative, where 13-year-old Ragnar participates every Tuesday, stating, “I feel safe here.” This underscores the broader importance of inclusive community spaces, a goal the gaming group shares. The group is currently evaluating options such as offering specialized gaming sessions tailored to seniors, providing transportation assistance, and offering introductory workshops to build confidence with gaming technology.
