This week was a bit extreme for thinkARK. We had two things to contend with. Part of the group were running a project called trade school cardiff which you can find info about in the projects section of the site. It's taking place over the whole week and there are loads of great things being taught and loads of other things being bartered for. Running along side this was having a Wednesday club with a difference.
In the lead up to this years playARK games festival we will be putting on a game on Saturday 5 May, 3-5pm - Cardiff (Secret location - you will be told nearer the time where to meet and where you will finish)
Eye spy with my little eye something beginning with.........
Information has been uncovered by a mole agent that threatens the whole of the country’s National Security. The agent left a final transmission giving a date 05/05/12 and referencing an Event. No other information is available at this time. The agent’s current status is missing in action. You as agents are being recruited and deployed to create a united undercover front to succeed in what will be known as operation CYCLOPS.
So if you fancy playing you can get a ticket on ur eventbrite page. http://eyespy.eventbrite.com
We have a great christmas game in store for people. If you are interested you can find out more and buy tickets at http://jokulfrosti.eventbrite.com/
Along with the talks and also the games day we also created a game for people to play in the evening. Have a look at the images above for a glimpse of what the game was like.
A quick slideshow of some of the games that we put on during this years playARK festival. We are now looking to see if we can put it on a again next year so fingers crossed.
It's over a week ago I had just managed to clear up one room of the house. With Allie frantically collecting all the other stuff from all the volunteers and supporters that without them the talks, the games and everwake really could not have been made possible. Firstly a quick comment. If someone comes up to you and says they are really interested in setting up a two day festival with talks and games. I would advise you to run. Run away as far as you can. I would also say perhaps de-friend them from facebook :-)
Below is the 2011 playARK games schedule, hope to see you all there:
