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.

• Bullring Playtest in Birmingham, England

3pm - 6pm, Bullring shopping centre, Birmingham city centre.

Join BARG members looking for ways to make a Saturday afternoon in a shopping centre fun!
