Friends and lovers
So you don't have to pay to play, we have to rely on the love and kindness of our fabulously talented, generous and attractive friends.
These are the groups that have helped make Snap-Shot-City possible this
year:
Q Brand
Our heroes from the land of the long white cloud! Matt, Tim and the gang at Q Brand in Christchurch have designed our shiny new home! How much do we love them? Oh so very much!
Baseline Solutions
The bits and bytes behind the sites. If you get 404'ed on a dark and lonely night, then you've got these guys to blame.
The Workshop
Our Melbourne home sweet home! Brendan and the crew at Workshop threw mighty bashes for Snap-Shot-City 2006 and 2007! And they have even bigger and better plans for the 2008 event including dj’s, sausage sizzle and party punch for everyone!
E55
The scene of many a SSC 06 upload tantrum! E55 is back in 2008 with the underground sounds and free Snap-Shot-City uploads!
Plug-in City
Many thanks to our friends Plug-In City for the use of their fabulous tune: “Broke on a Wheel” in the 2006 Snap-Shot-City short film. And keep an eye out for a new album out some time soon with Modular Records!
Wigadoo
The kids at Wigadoo want to make it easy for you to do fun stuff with your friends. We think that’s a marvelous idea!
Come Out & Play Festival
Come Out & Play returns to New York City this spring. The festival will run from June 6-8. The excellent bookstore Bluestockings will play host to the festival and serve as headquarters. The festival will spread across the Lower East Side of Manhattan, bringing the streets to life. There are a whole bunch of excellent games to play.
Hide & Seek Festival
Hide and Seek is a festival of social games and playful experiences, running in London from the 27th to the 29th of June 2008. It will encompass everything from fine artists making location-based work to huge flashmob games within the public spaces of the Southbank Centre.
The festival celebrates the creative and social aspects of gaming, and invites artists from all disciplines to experiment with game design as a creative tool. This year sees projects from Blast Theory, Gideon Reeling, Momus, Jane McGonigal, and Coney, as well as parties, seminars, and a bunch of low-tech, high-fun games from the Sandpit.
The focal point of the festival is the Clore Ballroom at the Royal Festival Hall, where players can sign up for the big events, hire out devices to try GPS gaming, play Sandpit games, and interact with a variety of weird and playful installations.
You can start signing up to play games when registration opens on June the 4th.
