Several cities have been competing with
Singapore to host the world's largest game festival. Singapore was chosen by the WCG committee "as it received the highest score in terms of venue and accessibility". 
"Singapore was chosen thanks to the fact that, since it is an international education city, it can be used as a point of strategic importance to highlight positive effects of games and to position the WCG as an educational and culture games event with youths. "
