HAZARD

Pervasive gaming is a growing global phenomenon as people find increasingly interesting ways to reinterpret their familiar city landscapes as playgrounds.  Fun, adventure and self-expression in a seemingly mundane setting: join-in, dress-up, go-out and make your game what you want it to be.  www.larkin-about.co.uk
