Events

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.

• Survivor Sports in London

The apocalypse has happened, the lights are off, and the last survivors are holed up in a sports center in the tunnels under London Bridge. With 50,000 years to kill until it's safe to go outside and an oddball stock of equipment, it's time to play some Survivor Sports.

• Heist in Hackney, London

There's no one around and the warehouse looks deserted. Thirty minutes to get in and out. You slip the hacksaw inside your jacket, give a quick nod to the rest of your crew, and boost yourself into the entrance.

But it's not deserted. And that's where things start to come unstuck..

Heist is an intense game for twelve people working together. Armed with a map, a radio, and a box of tools, your job will be to plan and execute a warehouse burglary. You'll need to find an entrance, avoid the guards, slip past the motion sensors and pick the locks. Or, if that's your plan, you can take out the guards, sabotage the sensors and hacksaw the locks. But whatever you do, do it carefully. You only get one chance at this.

• V&A Sandpit in London

On 26 March, the V&A will be filled with social games and playful experiences, as we team up with Hide&Seek to explore the collision of art, theatre and game design. Grab your dice and come along to sneak, scurry, plot, plan and play the night away.

• Easter Hunt(ed) at Hampstead Heath, London

Into the Woods it's time to go, into the Woods it's time and so you must begin your journey...

It's Easter Hunt[ed], and you're searching the woods for chocolate eggs. If you are lucky you'll come across the Easter Bunny with some extras to share. But keep your eyes open: the Easter Bunny's evil twin will take everything you have.

Will you exit the Woods victorious, or will the Evil Easter Bunny spoil your Easter?
