The “Sports and Game shows” Sandpit was a chance for games designers and artists to try out new games ideas on the theme of, you’ve guessed it, Sports and Game shows!

One of the
Scheduled Games on offer on Friday night, ie games requiring you to book your
place, was "You’re In A Room" by Fruitbat. This game required you to guide your
team-mate through a mysterious dungeon. It was a bit like building your own real-life
computer game, where your character (team-mate wearing a blindfold) had to be
guided past dangers.

In addition
to the scheduled games there were drop in games. These included Johann
Sebastian Joust (Die Gute Fabrik) run by The Wild Rumpus. The game involved trying
to jostle your opponents’ controllers while protecting your own. There were some
amazing ninja-type dance moves in evidence. At the end of every round people
were happy to pass their controllers to others making this a very interactive
activity, where the audience quickly got the chance to be the player.

If all this
makes you wish you’d have attended, the good news is there is another Sandpit
in June. This time the theme will be “Performance”. Monday
18 June at the Southbank Centre from 6:30-10:00 June Sandpit 2012:
