The Game's Afoot

The Prussian ambassador’s accused the French embassy of spying on him, the Fenians have blown up a police station, a gang boss has gone on record that a ‘man-wolf beast’ ripped apart his crew in the middle of robbing a bank, and it’s just started raining frogs over Westminster Abbey. What is going on?

In a game world that takes elements of real later Victorian history, popular culture, and tales of myth, you will be part of a faction with multiple goals and shifting alliances - there’s money to be made, power to be seized, and diplomacy to be carefully crafted - so if you enjoy Victoriana, gothic tales, Sherlock Holmes, and maybe a dash of Peaky Blinders, then this is a game for you.

Players will be on teams representing factions such as Anarchists, the Royal Society, or the Constabulary, that are also part of the Criminal, Establishment, or Supernatural worlds. Player objectives may include completing supernatural, acquiring boatloads of cash, or taking gang territory across Victorian London - and then there's all those interesting artefacts and locations like the British Museum, Millbank Panopticon, and plenty of treasures looted by an explorer or two... 

This event is taking place in a wheelchair accessible venue. Lunch is not included, but there are some options for food nearby; many people bring packed lunches. You can find out more about East Midlands Megagame on our website and Facebook group.
