The Tournament took place at the Combat Training Centre in Drawsko.

- “Warsaw Rising: City of Heroes” – a PC game the main task of which is to lead soldiers through 63 days of the Warsaw Uprising
- “Cyphers Game” – a game available for VR, PC and mobile devices. The player, playing the role of Polish cryptologists, must crack Bolshevik codes, ensure radio communication, and neutralise armoured trains
- “Szybowcowa ‘87” – a VR application that allows you to immerse yourself using VR goggles in the 1980s, in an apartment from the Polish People’s Republic, which was the seat of the secret printing house of Solidarność Walcząca [Fighting Solidarity]
- Holograms of Digital Heroes, educational quizzes, and podcasts about immersive education.
