Great Street Games in Middlesbrough Centre Square 29 October - 1st November

Come and take part in a series of outdoor games, taking place simultaneously in three North East locations; Gateshead, Sunderland and Middlesbrough. Each area competes against the others in this world-first event created by media artists KMA.

Projected light and thermal-imaging technology are used to create jaw-dropping interactive playing arenas in which the physical movements of players determine the outcome of the games. Develop your game-playing skills as you progress through a number of levels to help your area to victory or to simply have fun.

Games repeat in ten minute cycles. Great Street Games is open to everyone and does not exclude those with limited mobility.
