This city is yours to explore and uncover, but we’re switching it up with your help. We’re bringing gaming away from your screen and to The Potteries Centre on Thursday 30, Friday 31 May and Saturday 1 June from 10am to 4pm. Come along to uncover quests on your doorstep.
Your final mission is to come back to us and let us know what you think!
Test yourselves with the T.U.R.D.I.S (Toilet Utilities Requiring Dexterity, Intelligence and Skill) escape room, located in none other than a Portaloo.
The track is set and the cars are ready, all we need now are the drivers. Trade your controller for the track and have a go at Scalextric racing, with live, in-person commentary by The Commentators.
There’ll also be a ‘game’ shop, but not as you know it… double act Hunt & Darton are cancelling screen time as they’ll be bringing all your favourite games with their DIY arcade experience.
Can’t make it IRL? Don’t miss out. The Commentators will be live streamed here so you can join in wherever you are.
