Come along to the Wales Millennium Centre for a day filled with unique games and playful experiences for both adults and families alike. Swap the running track for the streets, the baton for the mobile phone and the bike for the spacehopper making every space in the city your very own playground. We will be host to a superabundance of games from around the world created by some of the best and most innovative game makers. There will be extraordinary games that are a hybrid of old and new, some that are a fusion of digital and physical, others that are a concoction of theatre and narrative and some which are just plain silly. You can play a whole spectrum of drop in games on the day and also book tickets for our two headline games that are longer experiences*.
*Please note the headline games will be for 18+ audiences only.
