To tie in with our magnificent PLAYER live gaming festival, the theme of this month’s Lates was – wait for it – gaming.
We had the usual heady brew of science talks, silent disco, Beau Lotto’s Lab, pub quiz and so on.
But this month the Lates crowd also got to be shot at by giant avatars, to participate in an adapted and enormous game of something similar to Pong and to play super-sized Battleships in in our Shipping gallery. Not your average Wednesday night out…
These games and more will be going on until the 2 October – check out the full PLAYER programme.
We also kicked off a SCVNGR trek that will be running for the next few months. Using your smartphone you have to complete a series of challenges around the Museum – all very scientific, but some significantly silly.
If you know what a Klein bottle is, you should probably come down, maybe team up with some friends and try to imitate one…
