Ludocity is a collection of pervasive games, street games and new sports - social forms of play that take place in public spaces, such as city streets, parks and public buildings.

Some of the games on Ludocity overlap with theatre, painting, dance, and other art forms. Some of them use balloons, lumps of coal, huge sheets of paper, mp3 players, elaborate costumes, and short-range radio broadcasts. All of them have had their rules released under a creative commons licence, giving everyone permission to run that game for free, wherever and whenever they like. They mostly date from around 2008 to 2011.

Play games

A leafy standoff in Hunt the Scavenger.

All of these have been tried and tested, and just need you to print out the rules and gather together whatever props, locations and assistants the game might require. So long as you credit the designer and don't make any money from it, you can run the game anywhere you like.

Design games

The Soho Stag Hunt, played as the finale of the Soho Project ARG, 2007.

If you've got a game that you'd like to submit to the site under a Creative Commons licence, you can email it into us: see Help:Submitting a game.
