If the thought of being chased through the city streets by Zombies, pursued by crooked cops with a hidden agenda, or convincing a secret agent that you are not who they think you are appeals to you, Bristol's Igfest is the place to be.

Now entering its fifth year, Igfest is a celebration of the very latest in theatrical street gaming, with this year seeing three games taking centre stage hosting hundreds of eager participants at locations around the city centre.

The three games taking place this year were newcomers Cargo Remix and Incitement, along with an old favourite 2.8 Hours Later. Cargo Remix is the new incarnation from the 2.8 hours later team, whilst Incitement is the latest from Bristol based outfit Splash and Ripple.

The Zombie action comes thick and fast in 2.8 hours later, where the aim of the game is to avoid being eaten by zombies whilst trying to make your way across the city to the safety of the survivors base by finding and deciphering hidden clues.

If you prefer something a little less un-dead, Cargo Remix transports you to a world where you must use your wits to outsmart crooked cops and obtain fake ID to enable you to cross the city and pick up the cargo before escaping by boat across the water.

At the other end of the scale is Incitement, a game set in a world where the authority sees and knows everything and employs agents to watch over the population and keep the peace. If you imagine nineteen eighty four set in the Google age you're somewhere close.

2.8 hours later ran from the Wednesday to the Saturday, performing to sell out crowds each night. Incitement and Cargo Remix joined 2.8 hours later on the Saturday for a day of gaming which transformed the centre of Bristol into a plethora of alternate realities inhabited by hundreds of willing participants.

The popularity of theatrical street gaming is growing year on year as this exciting form of interactive entertainment is discovered by more and more people, with Bristol once again being at the centre of this artistic and cultural revolution. So if you want to experience this new and exciting medium get involved today and you may just find yourself hooked.
