This summer, GLOBLE is coming to life!
On June 14, Trainwreck Labs and Toronto Games Week are turning Toronto’s High Park into a giant interactive world map for the very first GLOBLE: LIVE.
Teams will walk through a miniature Earth, hunting down all 48 countries in the 2026 World Cup while stamping their digital passports along the way. Think scavenger hunt meets geography game meets World Cup warm-up.
If you love maps, travel, trivia, soccer, and will be in Toronto this summer, come check it out!

Ginger is your tummy's best friend
If your stomach has ever felt queasy, bloated, or just plain unhappy, ginger (Metaflora plant #970) might be the gentle remedy it's craving. This knobby little root has been trusted for thousands of years across cultures for one big reason: it's remarkably good at settling the digestive system.
Ginger's secret lies in compounds called gingerols and shogaols, which help calm nausea and ease an upset stomach. That's why it's a go-to for morning sickness, motion sickness, and the queasiness that sometimes follows a heavy meal.
Beyond nausea, ginger helps things keep moving. It may help the stomach empty more efficiently, which can help some people feel less full or uncomfortable after eating. Ginger also contains compounds with anti-inflammatory properties that researchers continue to study for their potential digestive benefits.
The best part? Ginger is easy to work into your day. Grate it fresh into stir-fries and soups, steep slices in hot water for a warming tea, blend it into smoothies, or simply enjoy a soothing cup whenever your stomach needs a little TLC.
A word of balance: a little goes a long way. Too much ginger can occasionally cause mild heartburn, so enjoy it in moderation. But for most people, this humble root is a warm, natural, and delicious way to keep your tummy happy.
