The Come Out & Play Festival will be returning to the Mission District on November 9th and 10th, after the success of last year’s festival and exhibition at the SOMArts gallery, which had over 2000 players in attendance. This year, the free festival takes to the streets again, featuring a wide range of games by local and visiting designers, from city-wide street games, to smartphone-based pervasive games, to alternative sports.
Players can find several large-scale street games at the festival that transform the city into a playground. Popular street games from previous festivals also return this year, including Journey to the End of the Night, which sends players chasing each other in a race across San Francisco and drew more than 1800 players last year. Newly designed games debuting at Come Out & Play include Rumrummers, where players race to make deliveries to locations around the Mission, and Capture the Tag, a competitive game of sidewalk chalk illustrations.
Other games include Monster Stomp, where players roleplay as monsters destroying a foam city; Batonk!, featuring players as robots wearing robot hats; and Witness Protection Program, a detective game based on hide-and-seek. With 20 games over the two day festival, there will be something for every type of player.
On November 9th, the festival will be held at Everett Middle School, 450 Church St, from 11AM to 7PM, followed by Journey to the End of the Night, which begins at Everett Middle School on November 9th at 7PM. On November 10th, the festival will continue at the Mission Recreation Center, 2450 Harrison St, from 11AM to 4PM, with a focus on family friendly games.
