Hide&seek

Hide & Seek is a game design studio that makes things for consoles, phones, browsers, streets, tables and pockets. We founded the UK’s first festival of pervasive games in 2007, and since then we’ve been creating social games and playful experiences for clients in the commercial, public and cultural sectors, as well as producing our own projects, like the might Boardgame Remix Kit, which turns the old games you've got into new games you'll Recently, we collaborated with AKQA to make the award-winning 221b.sh for Warner Bros - a two-player co-operative adventure game which acted as a prequel to the bilion-grossing Sherlock Holmes movie. We worked with PlayStation on the GameRunners project, helping eight young people from diverse backgrounds develop and deliver a fantastic live game - check out facebook.com/playstationgamerunners or watch the VBS documentary about the process here (http://bit.ly/9NNsDR). Our first iPhone project was Tate Trumps, a commission from Tate Modern for a game to be played within the gallery space, which asks you to collect artworks in one of three modes. Battle mode has you seaching for artworks you think would be good in a fight, Mood mode requires pieces which are particularly menacing, exhilerating or absurd, and Collector mode asks you to put together your own perfect home art gallery. Then, test you selections against your friends in a simple, strategic game of trumps.
