IGFEST

New kinds of sports

igfest is Bristol's very own interesting games festival - street games, outdoor spectacles, mass social interaction, the reclamation of public urban spaces for play and adventure. Founded in 2008, the festival is in its fifth year.

Our games are different. The games are all about unique connections between people and places. We play games in and with the real world. We play games in the city, on the streets and in unusual buildings and places. Some games are high tech and some have no tech at all. Some games last for minutes and others hours. Some are rich and challenging and some are just senseless fun. We believe games can be as exciting and engaging as the cinema or theatre. igfest is a chance to play some of the best games from artists and game designers from across the world.

igfest 2012 will be another international celebration of Street, Pervasive and Social games. This year we are running it in Bristol's Old City, a fantastic streetscape of old buildings, courts and markets, bang in the centre of the city. Once again, the festival is programmed Slingshot.
