Rocket-Skates and Falling Anvils! Firecat Masquerade to Present ACME

The latest in their series of monthly games, Brighton-based events company Firecat Masquerade are pleased to present ACME, a game of rocket-skates and falling anvils.

Firecat Masquerade are now two-thirds through this year's 11 Tales Of Intrigue series, which they describe as "a selection box of live gaming, with a different surprise each month." In We Come In Peace (Brighton Fringe) audiences were asked to oversee alien negotiations, while in July they donned gloves and hospital scrubs to become junior doctors for Toys' Ward - treating waves of injured stuffed toys. Now, for their September game, Firecat Masquerade are offering players an opportunity to step into the shoes of ACME Corporation employees, in their latest irreverent interactive experience - developing ACME inventions in The Lab and marketing them in a series of zany Dragon's Den style showdowns.

On arrival, you'll meet the ACME Customer Reps who will explain how the game works and give you everything you need in order to play. They'll also split you down in to teams of three - or you can rustle up two friends if you'd like to bring your own team. There's also plenty of opportunity to go to the bar and socialise with other players over the course of the evening - indeed, in some cases you may want to try to out-negotiate the other teams in order to get ahead. If you like Escape Room games, murder mysteries or the immersive theatre of companies such as Punchdrunk, Secret Cinema and Brighton's own Hydrocracker, you'll certainly enjoy Firecat Masquerade's series of live games.

ACME is at Sweet Dukebox, Waterloo St, Hove, on 20th Sept, 19:00 [270mins]. Tickets: £5 advance/ £8 on the door. For more information, visit www.firecat-masquerade.com.
