Hado is an interactive videogame

Caerphilly residents have a chance at trying Hado at Newbridge Leisure Centre this April, with the council encouraging those with no experience to have a go.

Hado is an augmented reality (AR) sport, combining physical activity with digital gameplay. Players use headsets and armbands to launch virtual energy balls and shields.

The event, on Sunday April 20, will be open for birthday parties, coached sessions, and competitive matches to those aged six years and above.
