The Rise And Fall Of Geo Goynes

See your city become the backdrop in a hunt for Geo Goynes. A digital theatre and gaming experience that takes you across the streets of Brighton.

Wear sensible shoes, dress for the weather…and be prepared for adventure.

People are changing, and from a fog of hindsight emerges a new era. Your friends start to report strange feelings of foresight, of prediction about future events. Suddenly, you know who will be coming around the next corner…

The Rise and Fall of Geo Goynes allows you to make choices that shape your own experience, communicating through audio headsets, encounter shopkeepers, bartenders and homeowners as you uncover the new face of the city around you.

Geo Goynes will rule the streets of Brighton.

Created during a residency with Blast Theory.

// More About Root Experience:

Root Experience has always explored interactive theatre, creating intimate, often improvised work which invests the audience with a role. Actors keep the audience invested and involved. The Rise and Fall of Geo Goynes harnesses digital technology to keep the audience engaged and in role over a larger area – the streets of Brighton for example!

The structure of the show has been largely influenced by gaming theory and the input of Brighton Urban Gaming Zone. This fusion has created the moments that get adrenaline sharply pumping through your body!

You may know the show from its working title, ‘The Game Project’, an initial incarnation allowing audience to trial the concepts involved:

“My experience of the early development of The Game Project [working title] was a fun and frantic journey through the back-streets of Brighton. Working as a team we solved puzzles and relied on each other’s wits and ingenuity to outsmart our opposing teams in an urban adventure that was both fun and challenging. I’m looking forward to seeing how the project develops and look forward to taking part again in the future” Jonathan May – Digital Producer LIFT Festival.

Root Experienced raised funds for this project using a Kickstarter video, which attracted backers from across the UK, America, Australia and even Sweden.
