We are please to announce that our headline game for playARK Games Festival 2012 is.........(drum roll).........yes you've guessed it........RENGA. So what's Renga I hear you say? Well it's like nothing you have ever played before.
“Renga was an amazing piece of new media: an interactive computer game with a narrative controlled by the audience with laser pointers. It was a great experience working as a team with other members of the audience to get to the end successfully.”
Renga is about finding a way home. Attacked and left for dead, our hero must carefully marshal their resources to build a new ship, confront their nemesis and finally return home. Only this hero isn't visible on the screen - it's the entire audience, working collectively to control the action using laser pointers directed at the screen. Turning the traditional hero's journey on its head, Renga asks the question - what if the ultimate reward can only be grasped by many hands? Recently screened at the SXSW Film festival, the show mixes new technology with adventure drama and a wry sense of humour to bring the audience together and leave them feeling a deep sense of camaraderie. Arrive as an audience, leave as a team.

“As an experiment of a new format... as well as a tease for the possibility of a narrative film in this fashion, Renga is a small triumph.”
