Press Play will take place in MOSI’s newly renovated “do-it-yourself” laboratory, Idea Zone. Participants will be using Verizon’s FiOS Quantum 150/65 mbps speed tier, which is ideal for gamers because the connection is virtually ‘lag free’ without service delays or latency issues.

Press Play is included with MOSI admission. Gamers who pre-register for the Nov. 4 event will receive free admission. To register, call 813-987-6000.
