Details as follows:
 
Ichi-Face


Grand Entrance

18.30-21.30

Step into Playlab's special photo booth and become part of the rolling animation. Grab a bingo score card and search the museum to find the real-life owners of the printed face parts. Keep your eyes peeled on the screen as the faces unscramble for the winners.



Matt the Hat

Grand Entrance

18.30-21.50

Matt the Hat plays party polka, electric swing and everything in between, so ruffle your feathers and don your top hats for a tip-top set.



Pass the Impossibly Large Parcel

Grand Entrance

19.30-21.30

Join 815agency as they fill the Grand Entrance with the ultimate spectacle inspired by the traditional tea party game. When the DJ stops you are invited en masse to undress a layer of this ridiculously large parcel, again and again, until the papery delights of its innards are revealed.



Wedlock by the Spinner, facilitated by Tin Horse Theatre

18.40, 19:40 and 20:40 (Running time approximately 50 minutes)

A theatrical race against time, through challenges of bravery and wit, where those of you chosen are striving to bring two people together. Failure will mean disaster for us all.

Places are limited. Free tickets will be available from the Information Desk in the Grand Entrance from 18.00. Please meet at the Meeting Point in the Grand Entrance.



Segue created by Laura Kriefman, Steve Pretty, Mel Cook and the Guerilla Dance Project

South-East Asia, Gallery 47b

19.00, 20.00 and 21.00 (Running time approximately 25 minutes)

You need to lead a dancer from Point A to Point F, passing B, C, D and E in the process. The trouble is: like the Pied Piper's followers, this dancer only goes where the music leads. Can you get the musician to play the right tune?

Places are limited. Please sign up at the entrance to Gallery 41 in Gallery 47b from 18.30.



Conformer

Raphael Gallery

18.30-21.30

Marta Bakowski, Maximillian Gubbins and Attua Aparicio from Platform 13 at the Royal College of Art present to you an unusual mind and body bending game. Answer the riddles by manipulating your team into the correct shape - if possible keep your fingers crossed as well because the audience decides which answer is correct.



Silent Relay

Information Desk, off the Buddhist Sculpture Gallery 19

18.30-21.30 (Running time approximately 25 minutes)

Be guided by a controller's calm voice in your earpiece to become an agent taking part in a carefully orchestrated operation through the depths of the Museum. Commissioned specially for Friday Late and devised and created by Berlin Invisible Playground.

Places are limited. Please sign up at the event.



The Sky's the Limit

John Madjeski Garden

19.15 and 20.15 (Running time approximately 35 minutes)

A truly dramatic balloon race brought to you by Tuna Technologies - part spectacle and part game show. Be prepared in your teams to be wielded with socially engaging, mind-boggling and sometimes even the most ludicrous of tasks. Complete the tasks to win string; use the string to loft your glowing balloon to the finish line.

Places are limited. Please sign up at the event.



An Expedition with Mr Mirrors

Starting Point: National Art Library

18.45- 21.45

Explore stories of Fallen London and solve the puzzles hidden throughout the V&A's galleries to crack the riddle of your own forgotten identity. Created by Failbetter Games and A Door in A Wall especially for Friday Late.

Eirik Helgesen, Oscar Lhermitte, Oscar Wanless and Peter Ziegler from Platform 13 at the Royal College of Art invite you to capture a photograph in a far-off geometric landscape.

Playmakers (2009)
