Woohoo! We ran our first Go Game for Good in Soho on Saturday and it went off with a serious bang. Go Game for Good is a game that we run for the public every so often where the profits go to support a certain charity. A little over a week ago, we were contacted by Dan, Amy, Ali, and Andy, a group of people helping to raise money for two organisations that support young people called Raleigh and the Prince’s Trust. To help support their goal of raising £10,000, which you can read about here, we decided to run our first Go Game for Good with them over the weekend. Nothing like having a good time for a good cause!
We had eight amazing teams gunning for the gold whilst getting sloshed in Soho’s many fine pubs on a gorgeous Saturday. In addition to the time spent drinking at the pub, they solved clues hidden all over the quaint cobblestoned streets of Central London. Of course, we also had our four fabulous organisers/fundraisers/actors get all suited up as a mad cow, a bawling bride, a hungry pirate, and a manic depressive Spiderman to facilitate challenges for the players. Impressive work, guys! Nothing says Go Game shenanigans like a mooing cow and a team of gung-ho Go Gamers running past confused tourists.
We also tossed some of our favorite creative missions at these teams and they proved themselves ready for anything. Teams filmed romance movies with a twist, took photos of people biting everything in sight, and staged various shots of themselves caught in inappropriate breakdancing scenarios on the bus, in the bookstore, and in the gent’s loo with Spiderman. Hilarious.
We don’t want to give away too many secrets, but we’ve uploaded our number one favorite video from the day for your viewing pleasure. In fact, it’s one of the best Romance-Movies-With-A-Surprise-Ending that I’ve ever seen. Team Donkey, we are slayed by your brilliance.
It's always the little touches that win the best votes in the Go Game judging - note the farmer's hat, the ketchup, the shrink-wrapped beef, AND the ingenious setting in front of the Hamburger Restaurant. Did they hire a costume designer, a special effects technician and a location scout to put this video together? No, it's just another example of classic Go Game creativity at work. Great job, ladies! (the cow says so too). Everyone else, you did a fantastic job as well and we're so happy to have run such a fun game for you all. Thanks for supporting Raleigh and the Prince's Trust and playing The Go Game and we hope to see you again next time!
