What has Hide and Seek Fest got you to do that you'd like to see other people doing? Use your experience of the festival to come up with the instruction to go on a square that will be part of a giant board-game. Then come back at the end of the festival when we have enough squares to build a board . don't forget to bring something to use as a counter! You'll get to play the game and by doing that you'll discover what other people's experiences of the festival were.

Build a Boardgame will be open intermittently on both Saturday and Sunday.
People playing this game: Kevan, Guilherme, Holly, Fausto Fonseca, Ana Paula, Peter, mlilley, Nadaav, Ed, Tallbird, Gervase Markham, Apolobamba, Megan, Tom Parker, David Hayward, Sebastian, Ruben, Elaine, Bring Stuff, liz sivell, Robert Atwood, andrea, Clare Rowley, Moody, jelena curcic, dave dow, Gideon Reeling, Lola Atobatele, Amanda Berrisford, StephanieS and 32 others.

I call my practice education art. I try to create spaces where, through dialogue and through interaction with things and ideas, I can persuade people to suspend their disbelief. I try to get people to begin thoughts that they'll still be thinking about at some point in the future. As an education artist the following questions are important in my practice: If you are an education artist then where is the actual artwork located? Is it possible to help somebody have a good idea? How do you build a world within a world? How do you make somebody think about how they think? Will you play along?
