99 Tiny Games

Tiny Games / 2011-2016 / with Hide&Seek

99 Tiny Games was an installation that ran across London as part of the Cultural Olympiad.

We designed 99 site-specific games - three for each of London’s 33 boroughs - then printed them on bright circular posters and installed them in parks, bus stops, pavements, outside libraries, in bandstands and more. Some of them were chatty and silly and funny; some of them got players exploring, or moving through familiar streets in new ways, or finding out about forgotten moments of local history. All of them were about looking at the particular, specific details of places in cities, and how they could form the basis for play.

99 Tiny Games ran as a prototype at Southbank Centre (London, 2011); and across the city as part of the Cultural Olympiad (London, 2012). It also formed the basis for a Tiny Games app (iOS, 2013), and a series of six small Tiny Games books from Osprey Publishing (2015-16).
