The interesting games lab celebrates sports as part of the Watershed's Let the Games Begin season. We are holding a mini Olympics of street games, interesting sports and mucking about.

Hosted by the Watershed, June's iglab will bring you some of the best street games and pervasive games to have been developed around the the theme of sports. Heading the Line up will be a mini tournament of Korean Lazer Ball. Like some kind of sport from a sci fi future, Korean Lazer Ball pits two teams of lazer gladiators against each other leaving them to shine bounce and dodge their way to the top of the league.  We will invite the current world champion teams to defend their title against all-comers.

We will also be playing Circle Rules Football the winner of the best new sport at this years Come out and Play festival in NYC; English Judo -  a game of competitive etiquette; Telephone Tennis - get ready to serve at the speed of a ring tone; Olympic sparkler torch relays - keep the sparkle flame alive; and Last but not least the most truly olympic sport of all - Cake Hunting... Need we say more!

We look forward to seeing you. Olympic outfits at the ready for the special prize.... Let the games begin!
