NOTE: Online booking has now closed but tickets will be available on the door.

Come along to the National Maritime Museum for an amazing night of games! We've got the whole museum to ourselves, to celebrate the opening of the new Traders gallery, and we're going to play in every corner and crevice we can find. There's also free entry to the new High Arctic exhibition (usually £7).

A full list of games is available on the Hide&Seek website - they've been inspired by the sea, trading, and the East India Company, to celebrate the opening of the NMM's new Traders gallery.

Tickets can be booked in advance or bought on the door (if still available). There'll be:

Print, Print Superstar, from Sophie Sampson: a fast and furious block printing game for four people. This is a two round game, referencing the glorious precision of indian wood block printing. Think of it as competitive craft.

Trade Winds, from Francis Barking: Find your port in a storm. A breathtaking voyage across 5 of the seven seas.

Headmaps, from Marc Vousden: a game of blindfold navigation. Listen carefully for the other ships, and see if you can navigate your way safely through the ports.

Treasure Maze, from Viviane Schwarz: Treasure-laden ships capsize above the sprawling maze of the sea. Dive for treasure and hide in secret caves from deadly sharks.

Spice Wars, from Minkette and Katy Bateman: A fast-paced physical game. Dodge cannonballs and race against the clock to get your goods safely home. Which company will be victorious?

Unlimited Port-ential, from Nick Giles: Ply the seas to make your trade routes, and see the world. Only no-one’s told you where anything is – perhaps one of those nice explorers knows.

I <3 Celebes, from Matthew Marcus: A game of (ir)responsible capitalism in 19th century Indonesia.

Schooner or Later, from Casework: A large-scale trading game for wool, tea and pepper – just don’t let anyone catch you breaking any local port laws…

Smugglers Run, from A Door in a Wall: A game of smuggling with themes of trust, negotiation and corruption. One for those of you with honest smiles and a taste for betrayal.

Rangoli, from Jenifer Toksvig and Ben Davies: Ganesha is the elephant-headed Hindu god with four arms. Ben is going to draw Ganesha making a Rangoli with a brush in each hand. If you too have four arms, you can make a Rangoli on your own! Otherwise, you have to pair up into groups of 2 or 4 people and make a mirror Rangoli as a team.

(The Sandpit is an evening of games for grown-ups curated by Hide&Seek. This time there's a nautical theme, so if you've ever wanted to sip tea over parlour games, wander the galleries trading herbs and spices with rival merchants, or run around dodging the enforcers of the East India Company, then this is the night for you. Hide&Seek have commissioned brand new games from artists, designers and theatre-makers, which will be running alongside traditional Indian, Chinese and sailor’s games. Whether you fancy something quiet and cerebral or fun and frantic there’ll be something for you.)
