LAN' Divy

LAN' Divy: Video Games Come to the Mayenne Countryside

Created in 2018 by the association SurviveBox, LAN' Divy is a LAN party that aims to popularize video games in rural areas. Every spring, the Landivy community hall transforms into a gaming arena for a weekend, bringing together between 40 and 60 players from across the region to compete in a competitive yet friendly atmosphere.

Competitive and Commentated Tournaments

The heart of LAN' Divy lies in its competitive tournaments organized on several popular games. The 2025 edition featured four titles:

• Minecraft: building and survival challenges
• Rocket League: team-based car soccer
• Counter-Strike: tactical team-based shooting
• Worms WMD: quirky turn-based strategy

The matches are commented live by hosts and broadcast via streaming on Twitch through the SurviveBox channel, allowing remote viewers to follow the action in real-time. A prize pool of €1,000 is distributed among the winners based on their overall ranking.

An Event Open to All

Beyond the tournaments, LAN' Divy offers free entertainment accessible to visitors throughout the weekend. Console gaming stations are available, allowing the curious to discover the world of gaming in a relaxed atmosphere. The event also celebrates the anniversaries of iconic games, such as the 30th anniversary of Rayman during the 2025 edition.

An Association Rooted in the Territory

The SurviveBox association, based in Landivy, carries this project with the conviction that video game culture has its rightful place in rural areas. Outside of LAN' Divy, the association participates in other regional gaming events, such as Felger Games in Fougères, and engages the local community around video games year-round.

An Immersive Weekend Format

Players registered for the tournaments can access the hall from Friday evening, allowing them to settle in and prepare. The first tournaments begin on Saturday at 10 AM and continue until Sunday. Food and drinks are available on-site, creating a true gaming bubble for the weekend.
