Event Details

Join us at the Hub for a day focused on Playmakers, Hide&Seek's project to collaboratively develop a pervasive game over the next couple of months.

We'll be running all day, alongside Coney's Playday - so drop in for half an hour or the whole day; to share ideas, playtest other people's, or just take advantage of the fact that the Hub cafe's hot chocolate is really really nice.

During the day there'll be groups to discuss different aspects of the game, from costume design to rule structure to actors to props to players. By the end of the day we hope to have generated a couple of playtests, a few different rulesets, a pile of ideas about where the game could go next, and a plan for the next version of the game.


Players of the game


Individual sessions will include:
* Alex Fleetwood leading a discussion of the video elements of the game, with insight from film-maker Ivo Gormley
* James Wallis leading a discussion on the story of the game (and whether it should even have one)
* Holly Gramazio leading a discussion on different roles for the players
* Plus discussions on how to fit it all together, what people should be wearing, what props there should be, whether there's a role for actors, and anything else that comes up! Facilitators include Margaret Robertson and others tbc.

If there's an area you're particularly interested in, get in touch - email hello@hideandseekfest.co.uk - or just turn up on the day and get involved.

Hide&Seek



Hide&Seek makes social games and playful experiences. We founded the UK's first festival of pervasive games in London in 2007, and we've been working, thinking and playing together since then. We run the Sandpit, a thriving network of artists, game designers and players, and produce events with cultural venues around the UK.
