Events

This is a calendar of upcoming pervasive games around the world - both individual games, and larger, organised events. If you'd like to try running a game in your area, just add it to the list with a date, time and location.

(There's an archive of past events, if you want to see what you've missed.)

September 2008

Friday 19th - Sunday 21st

• Igfest in Bristol, England

igfest is the festival of interesting and experimental games, with a particular focus on Street Games and Pervasive Games. Taking place as part of the Bristol festival, the event is dedicated to bringing urban games to the public and allowing them to rediscover the city through play.

Submissions are now closed but if you're keen to get involved, we are looking for festival volunteers. Bristol festival events, you’ll be fed and watered and (the killer offer) get a free igfest octopus t-shirt how could anyone resist… contact us at info@igfest.org for more details.

Saturday 20th

• Bees in London, England

Holly will be running three games of Bees at the Southbank Centre during the afternoon on Saturday, as part of their Festival of Food. The game has been rebranded as Be a Bee, and is being pitched at children.

Friday 26th

• Bootleggers in Berkeley, California

1pm - 2pm, meet on the steps of Wheeler Hall. Smuggle things across the border from Dwinelle Hall to Wheeler Hall, but don't let the Border Patrol catch you! Inspired by the premise of Andrew Field's Checkpoint, this is a variant of that game adapted for the UC Berkeley campus. Cookies will likely be provided. Facebook event information here.
