My friend Greg is organizing Come Out and Play 2006 this weekend, and it sounds really fun.

And here’s a description from him:

It’s a big games festival. What are big games? Well, that’s what the festival’s for: we want to find out. But my hunch is they are games that have lots of people and use the real-world as part of the game. What?

Okay, they’re big scavenger hunts, projections of Space Invaders on buildings, capture-the-flag and fun. They take things like cellphones and subways and use them to help you play games with your friends. Better yet, check out our site for a better idea. These are the games we have at the festival:
