Happy Anniversary To Us and Battle Brighton!

It's been exactly a year since the UK and Europe office of The Go Game arrived in London. Woohoo! Happy anniversary to us.

We're celebrating by taking several long-awaited trips to the seaside....it's off to Brighton we go! We've been wanting to visit that lovely city since before we moved to the UK, having heard how fantastic and San Francisco-awesome-like it is from friends like Aleks K. and other cool Brighton peeps we met back at SXSW Interactive last year. We can't remember exactly who, which we blame fully on the late night shenanigans on 6th Street in Austin.

Anyway, we're FINALLY making it down to Brighton for a very exciting reason. Three exciting reasons to be exact - we're going to be running 3 brand new games at Brighton Festival Fringe! The Brighton Festival is a curated and programmed performance and artistic extravaganza lasting several weeks in May and the Fringe is the open access festival that runs alongside it. We've long wanted to take part in these amazing cultural events around the UK and we're finally doing it. And it will involve clowns.

And wizards. And aliens. And superheroes, as every good Go Game does. Here's the deal..

GIRD UP YOUR LOINS, IT'S TIME FOR BATTLE BRIGHTON!

On three days in May, The Go Game will stage our fabulously fun technology-fuelled adventure games to explore three long-debated rivalries of yore: Wizards vs. Superheroes, Kids vs. Clowns, and Pirates vs. Aliens.

How would an Avada Kedavra from He-Who-Must-Not-Be-Named fare against the bulletproof-chested Superman? Can little Tommy fend off an attack from this terrifying real-life evil stalker clown? Could a swashbuckling Orlando Bloom wield his cutlass fast enough to avoid getting demolished by an acid-spewing xenomorph from Aliens? I'm going to go with a 'Highly Unlikely' on that one, but we leave it up to your creative minds.


We'll explore these intergalactic and fantastical matchups as part of Festival Fringe on May 9, 22, and 23, all starting at 2pm at the Caroline of Brunswick. More info here and book tickets here. Unfortunately, the event is 18+ because it's being held at a pub, but that means more pints and more cheeky behaviour from the rest of you lot. As usual, all teams will need a mobile phone with a web browser and we'll combine teams if necessary. Get in touch with any questions and we'll hope to see you there!
