GAMES GAMES GAMES

It’s a busy week for pervasive games in London… there’s the Sandpit on Wednesday 24 June at the Southbank Centre, of course for a whole evening of new pervasive games, as we frantically test things out in preparation for the Weekender… but in non-Hide&Seek game news:

Ben Henley’s Ponzi!, a game of deception, finance and brightly-coloured beads, will be running at Soho Theatre from Tuesday 23 June. It’s part of Everything Must Go, a night of short plays and other work based around economic collapse. The game will be played in the bar from around 9:30 - it’s free to play, but there are limited places and first dibs go to Everything Must Go ticket-holders. (The night also features a new soundwalk from Duncan Speakman - people who tried out the mscapes at last year’s Hide&Seek might remember his wonderful always something somewhere else).

And then on Sunday 29 June at 7:30pm it’s time for the Cable Street Conundrum, a “modern fable on three floors”. It looks to be an enigmatic game-adventure played over a three-floor building, featuring bears, blocks, rabbits, narrative, strategy and mystery — but to find out for sure, you’ll have to go.
