• Kensington vs Chelsea in Kensington and Chelsea, London, England

Kensington and Chelsea face each other down once and for all in a game that stretches from Chelsea Embankment to Holland Park. Pledge loyalty to the Blue Boar of Kensington or the Silver-Winged Bull of Chelsea, then chase down your enemies, or dodge past them; work alone or with dozens of other players to carry the emblems of your team into the enemy stronghold. With ribbons, balloons, sneaking and spying.

Designed and run by Holly Gramazio.
