A special video games night – Dark & Doomy!

Fireside chat and meet with “the godfather of the first-person shooter”, co-founder of id Software and programmer, game and level designer on classic games Wolfenstein 3D, DOOM and Quake, John Romero, as well as the BAFTA award-winning designer and artist on games such as Wizardry and Ghost Recon, Brenda Romero.

You’ll also be able to play a selection of fantastic Doom-inspired indie games and get merch signed.

(the show will be open to the public at £12 a ticket). You and the audience have to escape an insane room full of deathtraps and fiendish puzzles.
Described as a show “not to be missed” by The Guardian.

If you have a Doom-inspired game you would like to demo at the event, please let us know when you sign up – we have up to 6 spaces available.
