If the thought of being chased through the city streets by Zombies, pursued by crooked cops with a hidden agenda, or convincing a secret agent that you are not who they think you are appeals to you, Bristol's Igfest is the place to be.
Now entering its fifth year, Igfest is a celebration of the very latest in theatrical street gaming, with this year seeing three games taking centre stage hosting hundreds of eager participants at locations around the city centre.
This year saw three games contested over the course of the festival. The long running '2.8 hours later' was joined by new venture 'Cargo Remix' from Slingshot productions, alongside the first ever performance of 'Incitement' from Splash and Ripple, - the team behind the highly acclaimed Psychological thriller 'Shadows Follow'.
2.8 hours later is a Zombie apocalypse based pursuit game where contestants must use stealth to travel across the city completing clues in order to discover the location of the survivors' base, all the while avoiding the hordes of marauding zombies out to catch them.
If on the other hand, the idea of bartering with crooked cops and using fake ID to avoid detection and find your way to the boat and freedom gets your pulse racing, then Cargo Remix is the game for you.
At the other end of the scale is Incitement, a game set in a world where the authority sees and knows everything and employs agents to watch over the population and keep the peace. If you imagine nineteen eighty four set in the Google age you're somewhere close.
The Saturday saw the culmination of the festival, and saw Bristol city centre transformed with Cargo Remix and Incitement taking place around the city alongside 2.8 hours later, which had been running since the Wednesday.
Igfest has increased in size each year since its inception, with the popularity of interactive street gaming growing year on year as more and more people become aware of this exciting and innovative cutting edge theatrical entertainment. There really has never been a better time to get involved in this incredible revolution and experience the thrill of interactive gameplay for yourself.
