| − | 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]].)
| + | There used to be a calendar here but it's no longer being maintained. Follow [https://twitter.com/ludocity @ludocity] on Twitter, and let us know if you've got any events coming up we should know about. |
| | | | |
| − | If you want to keep up to date, there's an [http://ludocity.org/index.php?title=Events&feed=rss&action=history RSS feed of this page's updates]. There's also an [[Events/History|archive of past events]], if you want to see what you've missed.

| − | :Another chance to experience July’s sellout experience. Running, shooting, sneaking and hiding in the park – after dark. When The Zombies Come, how will you fare?
| |
| − | :Evade the guards and escape the quarantine zone in [[Night Watch]]. Will you sneak from tree to tree, or make a mad run for freedom? You probably played this as a kid, but it’s much more awesome now that you’re all grown up.
| |
| − | :Catch your breath – or lose it – in Ghost, the creepiest game you can play with your eyes closed. Is there someone standing right behind you? Are you sure, or will you wait for the tap on the shoulder that welcomes you to the afterlife?
| |
| − | :[[Outbreak]] is 28 Weeks Later except that you’re in it. You don’t have a lot of ammunition (and anyway, the nerf darts only stun the zombies – nothing kills them). You don’t know where they all are. And if you get caught, or get unlucky, and you’ll become one of them. With the only light coming from your torch and the only sound the moaning of the dead as they shamble towards you, this is pure mayhem.
