Fresh Air 2014 was an international festival of games and play presented by Pop Up Playground which ran at Federation Square on the 7th, 8th, 9th and 10th of March, 2014. It used the hashtag #freshair14 on social media (which was mostly Twitter and Instagram at the time).
All games were free, however booking was encouraged for Spirits Walk and Space Trek the New Generation: S8 E01 – Time Travel Hijinks.
Games started at the Registration Tent in the Amphitheatre at Fed Square, unless indicated otherwise.
Featured Games
Spirits Walk by Serious Business (UK)
A Lost Waif, a Wandering Entertainer, a King by the River… the spirits of Melbourne must find the forgotten and impossible Gods who walk the streets as the sun is setting.
In Spirits Walk, players enter the spirit world and make new spirits of their own through a series of rituals and a masked procession after sunset.
When: 7:00 PM, Friday, Saturday and Sunday
