So, a lotto explore and enjoy.  \nIf it seems a bit bewildering, we have got you covered. Before you head into the halls, grab a drink, put your feet up and take a moment to read through the Guide section of the programme in order to help you get the most out of your visit. In these pages we detail the exhibitors, events, seminars and other activities you can enjoy during your time with us. There is a detailed map of the NEC Halls and the Hilton Hotel on pages 22-29.  \nFollow us, if you would, around the UK Games Expo as we describe where you can find all the fun and games.  \nNEC Hall 1 is one of our  \ntwo trade h","cbCaijqq07WUnbvz","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaijqq07WUnbvz","pdf",64107380,55,"English","# Guide introduction\n## Opening times and spaces\n## Seminars and live shows\n# Guide contents\n## Family zone and activities\n## Cosplay and living history village\n## Tournaments and administration\n# Maps and exhibitors\n## NEC Hall maps\n## Hilton hotel maps\n# Articles and awards\n## Featured articles\n## Awards categories","[{\"question\":\"Where are the open gaming and tournament spaces located during UK Games Expo 2022?\",\"answer\":\"Open gaming and tournament space is in NEC Hall 3, with timed access on Thursday through Sunday.
