With Fun & Fact filled experiments, watch in amazement as we recreate a volcanic eruption; turn a vacuum cleaner into a missile launcher or take aim at you with our smoke blaster!
So, stand clear and prepare for action, as this show is full of
Wiz, bang, pop …. And splurt
Exciting Science – Prepare to be amazed!
Welcome to THE DARK ROOM – the world’s only live-action, text-based adventure game. It’s strange, insane and addictive – it’s a choose-your-own-adventure, so choose it!
How do you play? The audience is trapped in a retro videogame with a sadistic end-of-level boss. Choose your options, survive the abuse simulator that is the improv comedy overlord John Robertson, and escape to win £1000 – or, be brutally murdered by the rest of the crowd!
Head along and join DoES Liverpool for a hands-on soldering workshop where you’ll learn the basics of assembling your own Printed Circuit Board (PCB).
Their experienced instructors will guide you through the process step by step, so no prior experience is necessary. This is a great opportunity to dive into the world of electronics and gain a new skill.
Don’t miss out on this chance to get creative and learn something new!
Join artist John Powell Jones for a free creative gaming workshop inspired by tabletop role playing games for 13-17 year olds at Tate Liverpool.
Visitors will have the chance to play Assault on the Leviathan: A Web Wide World Story – a storytelling and puzzle-solving adventure game created by John. Through the game, players are encouraged to think creatively and work together to shape the story and you’ll use your characters’ unique skills, personalities and knowledge to explore the world and find solutions to the tasks at hand. While there will be hints and clues to guide you through the game, there are no strictly ‘right’ answers and how the challenges are overcome depends on the choices the players make.
You’ll also hear more about John’s artwork, which takes inspiration from gaming, comics, horror and science fiction.
