Another wonderful Hide and Seek Weekender

A little review. Our friends at Hide & Seek have just held their fifth weekender event at the Southbank in London.

Games from all over the globe were present, with a special emphasis on games that are both fun to watch and play. Knowledge, skill, dexterity and guile were all on display as was a little cheating - a fantastic custardy, dazzling event. We very much hope that we can work with these guys in Margate soon.

Talks included:

• Joshua DeBonis of indie game studio Sortasoft told us about the bizarrely named Pigeon Piñata Pummel. We want to Play! Please please bring it to Margate. See more about the game here.

• Punch the custard! This brilliant game was devised by George Buckenham. Two players are put head to head to find out who can punch their custard quickest. See a video of the game here.

Does Public Play have a role to play in Regeneration . We think so and said so.  Find out more here Wired.co.uk article here.
