What to expect in 2025:
Last year, more than 2,000 attendees powered up with us—this year, we’re leveling up!
- Power Up zones across four levels of the Plaza
- Retro games, console competitions, VR, tabletop, and more
- Epic scavenger hunt with great prizes
- Cosplay and community artist showcases
- Free giveaways and family-friendly fun
- Dedicated kids’ zone on the Level 1 food court, to cater to families needing a quick
break or bite to eat
“Power Up is the perfect way for families to experience something exciting and inclusive
together,” says Tiana Capponi of Rundle Mall Plaza.
“There’s something for everyone—from hardcore gamers to curious first-timers. It’s high-energy, community-focused, and best of all, completely free.”
Located at 50 Rundle Mall in the heart of Adelaide’s bustling shopping precinct, Rundle Mall Plaza blends fashion, tech, and lifestyle. As the only shopping centre in Rundle Mall with a dedicated gaming and tech level on the Lower Ground, it’s the natural home for Power Up.
