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.

• 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.

• 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.
