An impromptu festival.
The Escapade part…
We at Oubliette Escape Games wanted to build a new escape room after such a long break, and when Enter offered us a whole floor of their arts venue to make a temporary pop-up, we were delighted by the opportunity.
However, the building’s owner sold the building earlier than we’d hoped; there was not enough time to build something new. Instead we decided to offer up the space to fellow Escape Game makers to bring their portable games to London for the time we have.
The Arcade part…
We love Escape Room games. We also love other kinds of games and experiences and wanted to bring them to other Escape Game fans, because we think you’ll love them too.
‘Alt Controller’ games have all been made by people who have rethought how a player can interact with a game. There are no traditional computer games in this ‘arcade’, each one is a one-of-a-kind interactive object you’ll never have played a game with before in your life.
