Deep Woods Adventure (Self-Serve Game Available)
Friday, August 23 @ 7:30 pm - Monday, August 26 @ 3:00 pm
A group of travellers, lost in the forest, search for clues to find a way to safety… Deep Woods Adventure is a Strange Games special – a home-brewed, ‘lifesize’ version of the push-your-luck game ‘Deep Sea Adventure’, played in the woods.
Want to play? The game will be set up and available all weekend, including instructions. Find it on the footpath that is near the old lake, at the far end of Willows 4 past the campfire (look for a line with brightly-coloured rags attached).
Three ‘beginners’ games will also be run at the start of the festival:
6pm Friday
10am Saturday
11am Saturday
Suitable for: 3-7 players (including a ‘GM’), 45-60 mins. Even better played in the dusk/dark (8pm is a good start time if so), but do bring torches as the path is unlit and uneven in places.
Accessibility: The game involves walking on an unlit woodland footpath, which is across one of the camping fields. It can be a little uneven in places and may be unsuitable for wheelchair users, depending on your mobility. The game also needs the majority of players to tell colours apart and to tie/untie loose knots, however the GM or a volunteer can support with this without impacting the running of the game.
Children: Older children used to playing boardgames can play this game, if their adult is also playing. There are also some suggested variations to the rules that you might find helpful if you want to play a ‘family game’ with children.
