If you've ever wondered what it would be like to be chased by Zombies, interrogated by agents or hassled by crooked cops, get yourself down to Igfest, Bristol's original and radical street and interactive gaming festival.
Igfest is Bristol's interactive gaming festival which runs for one week of the year every September and is now entering its fifth year. Each year hundreds of willing participants take part in a range of theatrical games staged across the city.
The three games taking place this year were newcomers Cargo Remix and Incitement, along with an old favourite 2.8 Hours Later. Cargo Remix is the new incarnation from the 2.8 hours later team, whilst Incitement is the latest from Bristol based outfit Splash and Ripple.
The Zombie action comes thick and fast in 2.8 hours later, where the aim of the game is to avoid being eaten by zombies whilst trying to make your way across the city to the safety of the survivors base by finding and deciphering hidden clues.
Cargo Remix is set in a world controlled by artificial intelligence where you must use your cunning and stealth to barter for fake ID, haggle with crooked cops and decipher clues in order pick up the cargo and make it to the boat safely in time to escape to freedom.
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.
2.8 hours later ran from the Wednesday to the Saturday, performing to sell out crowds each night. Incitement and Cargo Remix joined 2.8 hours later on the Saturday for a day of gaming which transformed the centre of Bristol into a plethora of alternate realities inhabited by hundreds of willing participants.
The popularity of theatrical street gaming is growing year on year as this exciting form of interactive entertainment is discovered by more and more people, with Bristol once again being at the centre of this artistic and cultural revolution. So if you want to experience this new and exciting medium get involved today and you may just find yourself hooked.
