BIOSPHERE FESTIVAL

The game is on. Newport is your world.

Something's been hidden in Newport. Clues tucked into familiar streets. Characters lurking around the river. Missions waiting in plain sight — for anyone bold enough to look.

We the 33 in collaboration with The Port are bringing you a street game unlike anything the island has seen. Designed by Newport's own young game-makers, it turns the town into a living adventure — from the willow by Sainsbury's bridge to the wide open spaces of the park, from the bus station to the river path after dark. We are turning Newport's streets, river, parks and alleyways into a living game world.

For nine days from 27 June to 5 July, as part of the Biosphere Festival, Newport becomes the game board. Drop in any day, any time. Pick it up. Play it your way. Go alone or recruit a crew. Outsmart other players. Follow the trail. Uncover what's really out there.

Your mission starts at The Port. Head down, sign up, and pick up your instructions — everything you need to begin your adventure is waiting there. The game runs throughout Biosphere Festival week, so whether you stumble across it on opening day or catch it on the last afternoon, there's always time to play. Come back and go further. Every day is a new chance to explore.

Newport has more to it than you think. Time to find out.

The Newport Street Game. Running 27 June – 5 July.
