Tomorrow, the London studio Hide & Seek is leaving 99 games in the streets of the capital as part of the festival inspired by the Showtime Olympics. And this is not the only interesting link with summer sports event

Most players have heard of classical simulations of various sporting events that tend to accompany events like the Olympics. Decathlon Daley Thompson, International Track & Field, and more recently Mario and Sonic at the Olympic Games have sought to capture the sporting challenge for those of us who can barely use a hammer to put a picture on the wall, threw a lot less 80 meters.

But with the advent of digital distribution, online games and board games, and more interesting, the concept of the elasticity of interactive entertainment, the 2012 Olympic Games is to get a Usually little more about tie-ins.

Saturday, for example, the brilliant and innovative study Hide & Seek is running 99 Games Tiny, fast collection of urban mini-games that will be placed all over London. Interested participants can check the map on Google for their next event, then head to find the rules, which will be written on a nearby wall or floor. They are all different, all interactive and provide a good excuse to explore known and unknown areas of the capital.
  • Hide & Seek a
  • organize events such as "urban game" in the past, and are always a fascinating game with elements of social games, pop and classical. This is part of Showtime, a festival supported by the Arts Council designed to bring the Olympic spirit that many different groups in the capital as possible. Go ahead and try a little game, if possible.
It is also interesting blind football, a game based on a browser, which seeks to simulate the Paralympic sport. Powered by the drum of the creative agency and support from Sainsburys, the title requires players to put on a pair of headphones and audio track, hearing the cries of his teammates (and the ball at the outset that contains a bell) to make accurate passes. Certainly not the first game to use only sound instead of visuals, and it took me a while to understand what is supposed to do, but it is a very interesting attempt to convey the experience of a sport so familiar from a different perspective.

past and less all the captives, the media is the creator of, um, the first non-contact, the utility network gaming system. It is a kind of game console bathroom is installed in the bathrooms (we can say that just returned from the States) around the country, and offers a screen that controls the action of the screen by the flow urinal user. To "celebrate" the Olympic Games, the company launched a new board game of 100 meters. Participants in the control, and I quote, "the direction of flow of urine in the urinary objectives. True The goal, the faster your character runs."
