Fun and games at Wits
-
Digital or human, there are all kinds of characters on campus.
Many Wits students, like millions of people around the world, are playing Pokémon Go on their smartphones. The “augmented reality” game involves finding virtual characters called Pokémon in real-world locations and capturing them.
Wits campus has plenty of Pokéstops and gyms – locations where you can find Pokémon. And the fun’s not just on the screen but also in meeting fellow players while searching for Pokémon characters on campus.
Games are big business and you can study Game Design and Digital Arts at Wits. The Game Design degree is the first in South Africa and Africa.
If imaginary creatures are not your thing, you can still take a virtual tour of Wits campus to revive your memories and to see what’s changed.
