This is a calendar of upcoming pervasive games around the world - both individual games, and larger, organised events. If you're planning to run a game in your area, in whatever context, you're welcome to add it to the list with a date, time and location. (If you want some advice for running your own gaming event, we've got a Sandpit howto and a smaller event howto.)

If you want to keep up to date, there's an RSS feed of this page's updates. There's also an archive of past events, if you want to see what you've missed.

Saturday 28th

  • Ninja Mission in London, England
You said “MORE NIGHT WATCH”. You said it on feedback sheets, on web surveys, and even on video. You demonstrated, in Twilight Rush, an uncanny ability to melt into the trees and surprise the guards.
So this is a whole evening of sneaking up, sneaking away, and sneaking through.
Ninja Mission will start with an extended Night Watch with a larger zone and a few new surprises. We’ll add in some team challenges so you can get to know your comrades-in-arms. No shooting zombies in this one – it’s pure heart-stopping stealth.
Dress code: Ninja! Or at least lots of black. No weapons please – we’ll be providing those.
