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]].)

* '''Capture the Flag''' in Leeds, England
 
:The bugle has sounded. The city in daytime drowns in the drone of bankers and shoppers... as dusk descends the streets will come alive, laughing as the flags wave high. For 90 minutes we'll tear through the city centre, flag on our minds. The lines have been drawn. Recruit, cajole and press-gang everyone you can. Rules and a map of the playing field coming soon.

* '''Survivor Sports''' in London, England - ''SOLD OUT''
 
:The apocalypse has happened, the lights are off, and the last survivors are holed up 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.
 
:We'll play Ninja Dodgeball - hurl glow-in-the-dark balls and track opposing players by their glow-sticks. We'll play Riotball with a beachball, a single goal, and very few rules. We'll play Nightstalker. We'll play sports that everyone's an expert at, with half-light and things that glow.

* '''Sandpit''' at the Southbank Centre, London
 
:The next Sandpit will be FREE, and will take place on 22 February 2010 at the Southbank Centre, in the Spirit Level at Royal Festival Hall. This month artists and designers have created games around the theme of “Maps and Territories”, so there’ll be exploration, discovery, confusion, lies, and trying to remember which way is north. Sneak and follow, deduce and scurry, analyse and draw; think about maps, follow them or create them.

:This will be our first attempt at a gaming night and we will be playing some simple games so come out and join us.  We don't know what we are doing so everyone should fit right.  We will be playing some easy table-top stuff to get in the mood and then maybe branching out into some more exploratory fields of gaming.  We will then start chatting about what types of games we want to get into for the next coming months.
